The U.S. Dept. of Transportation has selected 24 highway, bridge, port and other infrastructure projects in 18 states to share $905.3 million in the latest round of its popular Infrastructure for Rebuilding America, or INFRA, grant program.
The INFRA grants were in great demand. In a June 30 Zoom call for reporters, DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the department received 157 eligible applications from 42 states and Guam. They sought a total of $6.8 billion, far more than the funds it had available.
