The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with more than 20 business and labor organizations, recently launched the Coalition for Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment.
The coalition issued a statement regarding the bipartisan agreement on a $1.2 trillion infrastructure framework that would modernize the nation’s infrastructure and long-term economic growth.
“Infrastructure modernization is a critical component of long-term economic growth and improved quality of life for every American,” the statement said. “Momentum is building, as seen by the endorsement of the framework from the Problem Solvers Caucus.”
The coalition acknowledged and thanked the bipartisan group of 22 senators and the Biden administration for their success in reaching an agreement on the infrastructure framework.
“Now is the time to turn these promises into projects,” the statement said. “We urge Congress to turn this framework into legislation that will be signed into law, and our organizations are committed to helping see this cross the finish line. Enacting significant infrastructure legislation, including investments in our roads, bridges, ports, airports, transit, rail, water and energy infrastructure, access to broadband, and more, is critical to our nation and will create middle-class family sustaining jobs.”
