Rep. Garamendi: New White House Guide Helps Californian Communities Access Historic Investments Under Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

Statement

Today, Rep. Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA) touted a comprehensive new guide from the Biden Administration to help Californian communities navigate all of the historic investments under the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This guidebook, available here, highlights how local communities can take full advantage of urgently-needed infrastructure funding for road maintenance, expanded public transit, airport upgrades, and other critical projects.

"After decades of underinvestment, our crumbling infrastructure is weakening our economy and forcing Californians to pay the price," said Rep. Garamendi. "I was proud to vote for President Biden's historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and secure funding to invest in our communities, create good-paying union jobs and position our state for the future. Now, I am committed to working with local leaders to ensure that these funds are put to work in California as quickly as possible, helping to complete essential infrastructure projects. The Administration's new guide book will be an essential resource for Californian communities as we work together to bring home our share of these transformational investments and continue building on the past year's historic economic recovery."
