House Approves Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

ACEC released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to approve the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on Friday evening by a bipartisan vote of 228-206:

“Last week, the leaders of America’s engineering firms gathered for our annual Fall Conference. During the week-long event, one topic dominated the discussion: when will Congress act on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act? Today, we finally have an answer.

“The House approved a historic bipartisan investment in American infrastructure ­– an investment that will move this country into the future. 

“Americans everywhere deserve safe drinking water, secure and efficient energy sources, and reliable bridges and roads that are resilient against today’s cyber, extreme weather, and climate challenges. America’s engineering firms take these goals and turn aspiration into reality. This bill will provide the funding necessary to improve lives today and unlock our potential for a brighter tomorrow.”
