New House Infrastructure Package Will Invest in Aging Infrastructure, Support Economic Recovery and Create Jobs
The chief executive officer of the Associated General Contractors of America, Stephen E. Sandherr, issued the following statement in reaction to the release of a proposed House measure, known as The Moving Forward Act, that seeks to invest $1.5 trillion in infrastructure:
“House leaders understand that one of the best ways to promote new economic growth is by investing in the nation’s aging, and often over-burdened, infrastructure. These investments will create needed new construction careers, promote demand for new construction equipment and materials, and ensure that the economy will be more efficient and effective for years to come. The new House infrastructure proposal will provide the kind of tangible benefits our economy needs to recover.
