Obama’s Infrastructure Proposal Unlikely to Move Before Mid-term Elections

The status of President Obama's $50 billion infrastructure plan that was announced on Labor Day still remains unclear.  While Congress has returned from their August recess, no decisions have been made on if or when they would consider moving additional funding for infrastructure as proposed by the president.  AGC met with several Members of Congress and their staff, and it appears unlikely that they will make any decisions before the mid-term elections on November 2. AGC will continue to monitor and report on any new developments from Congress or the Administration.
