President Joe Biden announced he and a group of more than 20 Congressmembers had reached a deal on a new $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework is the largest long-term investment in America’s infrastructure in nearly a century, Biden’s office said in a statement. It is designed to boost the economy while making it more “sustainable, resilient, and just.”
“The Plan makes transformational and historic investments in clean transportation infrastructure, clean water infrastructure, universal broadband infrastructure, clean power infrastructure, remediation of legacy pollution, and resilience to the changing climate. Cumulatively across these areas, the Framework invests two-thirds of the resources that the President proposed in his American Jobs Plan,” the White House said in a statement.
