Joe Courtney marked the second anniversary since President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law and highlighted projects across the region made possible by the new law.\n\n\u201cThe Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is allowing towns in every corner of eastern Connecticut to make critical projects a reality that have been on the \u201cto-do\u201d list for years. From fixing roads and bridges, to upgrading airports, expanding broadband, creating new housing, and much more, the Infrastructure Law is making eastern Connecticut safer and more resilient for decades to come \u2013 all while creating thousands of good paying jobs. As our region attracts more businesses and a record number of new employees, the infrastructure law is also pivotal in ensuring we can expand infrastructure to meet growing demand,\u201d said Rep. Joe Courtney.\n\nSince enactment, the federal government has announced $4 billion in funding from the federal infrastructure law for 114 specific projects across the state of Connecticut. Thanks to Rep. Courtney\u2019s ongoing advocacy and urging, $3.7 billion of federal funding will support projects across the Second Congressional District.
