Infrastructure, Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA)
The IIJA is an historic investment in America’s core infrastructure needs – roads, bridges, ports, broadband, water infrastructure, and other important assets. There are many avenues for funding through the IIJA, and Eastgate is excited for the potential opportunities it may present to our communities. Eastgate will continue to monitor the IIJA and update this page with more information and opportunities.
IIJA Overview
At the March 2022 General Policy Board Meeting, Eastgate presented an overview of the IIJA and the funding opportunities that will be available through the bill. The overview - as presented by Director of Transportation & Infrastructure Ken Sympson - can be viewed below.
A pdf of the IIJA Overview can also be found at the link below.
