The bipartisan infrastructure deal will create millions of jobs, protect wages & worker conditions & invest in American manufacturing. Pair this with an even bolder reconciliation package & you have a historic deal. But… what exactly is in the bill?
The bipartisan infrastructure bill will deliver for Rhode Islanders. I helped craft the section that will send Rhode Island federal funding to repair highways, roads, and bridges. The bill also sends our state much-needed funding for broadband internet.
On climate/oceans, all eyes are on reconciliation, but this bill does have some wins. A few priorities of mine that will receive funding:
1⃣ My National Oceans & Coastal Security Fund
2⃣ Transportation infrastructure resiliency
3⃣ Grant program established by my SOS 2.0 bill

On energy, I’m really excited about funding to help deploy more electric vehicles and charging stations. Plus, it includes an amendment based on my RECHARGE Act with @SenatorHick to speed up our transition to clean cars.
I know it can be hard to track all the pieces of the bill, so I’ll be sharing more details as they come. Comment with any questions you have about it and I’ll try and answer the best I can.
