New AGC Blueprint for Economic Recovery Includes Water Infrastructure Provisions

AGC released a new national plan detailing measures to stimulate demand for construction. The plan is necessary to reverse construction employment declines that have taken place in 317 out of 337 metro areas since January 2007, according to new data. The plan is called Building a Stronger Future: A New Blueprint for Economic Growth. You can also read the plan’s Fact Sheet. The plan includes multiple provisions of interest to the water construction community, including increasing the combined investment in the State Revolving Fund programs to $6 billion annually, and the establishment of a deficit-neutral water trust fund to allow future investments to come from dedicated and sustainable long-term funding sources.
