Program information as of January 20th, 2022 FACT SHEET: Competitive Infrastructure Funding Opportunities for Local Governments The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes billions of dollars in competitive funding available to cities, towns, and municipalities across dozens of new and existing programs. As local governments begin to rebuild and reinvest in their communities, the Biden-Harris Administration stands ready to support local leaders as they combine funding streams, organize around their priorities, and build local support for long overdue infrastructure projects. At the U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting, White House Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator and former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu will highlight 25 already available or soon-to-be-available sources of funding that local governments – particularly cities – can compete or apply for directly. Listed below is the latest available information on these key programs, including links to agency websites, application timing, and descriptions. Highlighted programs were selected based on their size and cross-cutting objectives. Using these available sources of funds, cities can begin to plan to build in-line with President Biden’s economic, equity, climate and resilience, Made in America, and labor goals. The White House will also be releasing a comprehensive guidebook of all available funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in the coming weeks. The federal government cannot build a better America alone – it needs state and local leadership to act as coordinators and help prepare communities to benefit from transformative infrastructure funding. Outlined below is a short overview of how cities and towns can begin to prepare, as well…
