Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is a once-in-a-generation investment to rebuild our nation's water, road, transit, and broadband systems, grow our economy, and create good-paying jobs. For decades, infrastructure in California has suffered from a lack of investment. The American Society of Civil Engineers rated California a C- grade on its infrastructure report card. This legislation invests $1 trillion to fix our nation's infrastructure while creating over 2 million jobs over the next decade. President Biden signed this bill into law on November 15, 2021.
It is the largest U.S. infrastructure investment since the Eisenhower administration created the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s. These historical investments mark a new beginning for our nation. We now have the resources to rebuild our nation's crumbling infrastructure, create good-paying jobs, and enhance our global competitiveness, for decades.
Delivering essential investments for the Valley
"This is a big deal. These historical investments mark a new beginning for our nation. We now have the tools to rebuild our nation's crumbling infrastructure, create good-paying jobs, and enhance our global competitiveness," Costa said."This transformative bill secures millions for Central Valley water systems, roads, ports, broadband, public transit, and high-speed rail – critical investments that will improve our quality of life and safeguard our economy. I am proud that Congress came together to advance the President's agenda to build back better for the American people. We no longer have to live off the investments of our grandparents. These investments will make a difference in every community in the Valley."
