[Webinar] Infrastructure Funding for State Agencies & Municipalities
*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is packed with $550bn in funding for highways, rail, aviation, energy, and more. It's time for agencies to start anticipating how incoming funds may affect their reporting and administrative processes.
In our December 7th webinar, our panel of industry experts will take a specific look at how the infrastructure bill will impact agencies and municipalities.
Will funding be weighted towards urban or rural areas?
Can agencies expect a slew of new reporting, record-keeping, and environmental requirements?
How can road and highway builders prepare to secure and manage grant-based funding?
