CEA: White House Infrastructure Plan a Good First Step for Construction Firms
President wants to invest $1.5 trillion in infrastructure over 10 years
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration recently released its “Legislative Outline for Rebuilding Infrastructure in America,” President Donald Trump’s framework for authorizing and providing seed money for much-needed infrastructure investments. Construction Employers of America (CEA) expressed appreciation for the administration’s continued focus on the dire state of infrastructure across the country and called for an increase in federal funding to support the magnitude of projects in need of financing.
“Construction Employers of America thanks the president for identifying a long-neglected problem in America: the urgent necessity for the Federal government to invest in our national infrastructure systems,” said Jack Jacobson, spokesperson for CEA. “The president wants to invest in the repair and construction of $1.5 trillion in infrastructure projects over 10 years; we are concerned how this level of investment can be achieved with only $200 billion in real federal dollars.”
