The Biden administration released its first edition of a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law guidebook to provide a "one-stop shop" to help local and state governments and tribes access the more than 375 programs in the trillion-dollar law. "Our primary goal with this is to help our partners across the country know what to apply for, who to contact for help and how to get ready to rebuild," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. In addition to details on how the $16.7 billion in the law will improve infrastructure at coastal ports, inland ports and waterways and land ports of entry, the section on ports and waterways includes information on what potential recipients can do now to prepare to receive the funding. "In the coming weeks, we plan to publish subsequent versions of this document to keep our partners up to date on the latest deadlines and details," the administration stated. Responding to questions about the law's implementation, Psaki said more than $80 billion has already been allocated and is headed to states, territories and local governments. |
