SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Now that the major infrastructure bill passed through Congress last week, what does that mean for our transportation needs here in western Massachusetts?
The more than $1 trillion bill passed Friday. Now, billions of dollars are coming to Massachusetts to help improve our aging infrastructure.
The new law will add, on average, 2 million jobs a year over the next decade across the nation. In Massachusetts, $12.5 billion is expected for state roads, bridges, water systems, and other infrastructure needs. Our state is also expected to get a minimum of $3.5
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats hope to pass the social spending bill by Thanksgiving. The White House said that President Joe Biden will sign the largest federal investment in infrastructure in more than a decade on Monday.
