Mayor Funk Resource Center

In December, Funkhouser & Associates hosted an industry webinar on the main issues to watch in state and local government in 2022. Our conversation provided a handy digest of key provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and examined how its provisions intersect with today’s biggest challenges faced by states, cities and counties. Spotlighting the role of public-private partnerships, we outlined areas where industry partners can aid jurisdictions at this critical juncture to boost workforce capacity and support operational efficiency and innovation.

Key themes of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act are equity, technology and public private partnerships.

Transportation, utilities and broadband represent the biggest investment areas.

New programs and funding give priority to climate change and underserved populations. For example, many climate change programs are often tied to environmental injustice, such as the $1 billion Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program aimed at retrofitting highways that cut through cities.
