The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
The Federal Government’s 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act represents a once-in-a-generation investment in the nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. This bipartisan infrastructure law will rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails, expand access to clean drinking water, ensure every American has access to high-speed internet, tackle the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and invest in communities that have too often been left behind.
The Act represents a $1 trillion investment provided over the course of a decade. It will add an estimated average of 1.5 million jobs per year for the next 10 years.
The Opportunity for your Business
The overall set of infrastructure projects, though funded by the Federal government, will in many cases be administered by state and local authorities. There will be projects in sectors including road and highway construction, bridge and tunnel repair, public safety, broadband network development, electricity grid upgrades, clean energy as well as veterans housing.
Given the scale of this ten-year, multi-billion dollar opportunity, the range of contracting opportunities available to businesses to capitalize on this opportunity is truly unique.
To support businesses as they position themselves to participate in these infrastructure projects, the Los Angeles Urban League’s Entrepreneurship Center is hosting this online seminar to
(a) inform businesses about the particulars of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and
(b) how to take advantage of contracting opportunities available through this program.
