WASHINGTON, DC – On May 18, Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) announced $6.7 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has been allocated to New York in the six months since President Joe Biden signed it into law.
The funding announced over the past six months is just the beginning of transformative investments that will help New York rebuild roads and bridges, replace lead pipes, expand access to high-speed internet, deliver cheaper and cleaner energy to households and businesses, and create good-paying jobs for hardworking families. Nationwide, more than $110 billion has been announced so far, with funding on the way for 4,300 projects impacting over 3,200 communities across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
“For years to come, the investments from this law will continue to rebuild our infrastructure and create good-paying jobs for hardworking New York families,” said Rep. Maloney. “The projects receiving funding in New York are critical – from the expansion of the Second Avenue subway, to the completion of the Gateway Project further connecting New York to the rest of America, and upgrades to modernize JFK and LaGuardia Airports. This historic funding is positioning New York City to thrive and will help secure a prosperous future for all New Yorkers.”
