Nevada recently launched NevadaBuilds.com, a website dedicated to state infrastructure projects.
The website illustrates infrastructure investments coming to Nevada through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and available grants for which the state can apply for future projects.
It lists eight categories of investments, such as airports, electric vehicle chargers, ports, resilient infrastructure, and roads and bridges.
“Every day, we are working to build a brighter future for Nevadans. When I make a promise, I know there are thousands of people — families, workers, children — relying on the State to follow through,” Gov. Steve Sisolak said. “Our new website will not only highlight the projects improving our infrastructure, resiliency, and resources available to Nevadans, but it also highlights the jobs being created thanks to these investments.”
Nevada will receive approximately $4 billion over the next five years from the bipartisan infrastructure law, $2.5 billion for federal aid highway apportioned programs, $293 million for airport infrastructure development, $225 million for bridge replacement and repairs, $24 million for weather issues, $8.6 million for wildfire prevention, and $5.3 million to improve the electric power grid to prevent outages.
The Nevada Department Of Transportation will receive $5.6 million during fiscal 2022 for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure deployment that enhances the current 500 public and private EV charging stations.
