Workers, employers, governments, and federal infrastructure projects
Workers, employers, local and state governments, and communities all stand to benefit from the historic federal investment made by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. These opportunities are accessible via formula and competitive grants, cooperative agreements, and other arrangements. To ensure the success of infrastructure projects, it is important for workers, unions, employers, and local and state governments to work together in applying and implementing these opportunities.
