Business Better Podcast Episode: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act – Insights Three Years Later | JD Supra

In this episode, we discuss the impacts of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (a.k.a. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)) on U.S. infrastructure on its third-year anniversary. While the IIJA/BIL has unlocked significant funding for major projects, it has also highlighted afresh important questions about the long-term sustainability of our infrastructure investments. We explore the balance between immediate construction goals and the need for planning long-term maintenance and resilience. We also look ahead at key priorities for the future.

John P. Smolen, Co-Leader of Ballard Spahr’s Infrastructure Group, hosts the discussion. John is joined by Sam Headon, the head of infrastructure investments at S&B USA Concessions; and Jennifer Hara, the acting head of innovative finance and technical assistance for the Build America Bureau of the United States Department of Transportation.
