ACEC, Coalition Call for Passage of Comprehensive Infrastructure Package by July 4

ACEC has joined with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and more than 80 stakeholders in calling on Congress to pass comprehensive infrastructure legislation by July 4, 2021.

The Build by the Fourth of July coalition has highlighted six areas to be included in the legislation.

• Repair and update our crumbling infrastructure
• Stimulate our economy and create middle-class sustaining jobs
• Address climate change
• Promote fiscally and environmentally responsible policies
• Improve federal project approvals
• Address the digital divide

In the statement from the coalition, “We need Congress to enact a fiscally and environmentally responsible infrastructure package that stimulates the economy. As a nation we must be able to build big things promptly to accelerate the economic recovery and build the resilient low-carbon economy of the future. We need a durable commitment and clear strategy.”
