California recently launched Build.ca.gov, a website to highlight statewide investments in infrastructure.
The state anticipates it will invest $180 billion in state and federal infrastructure funds over the next 10 years.
The website showcases individual projects and highlights how investments help to build a new system of clean energy; build and repair roads, bridges, and public transit; bring high-speed internet to every Californian; clean air and restore natural spaces; grow the economy; and move away from fossil fuels.
The website also showcases several spotlight stories to demonstrate how funds are being spent.
“California is building more, faster, for all – and creating thousands of good-paying jobs in the process,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “This goes far beyond roads and bridges – this is about investing in our communities and our families, giving opportunity to hard-working Californians and ensuring we deliver on our world-leading climate goals.”
Last year, Newsom signed legislation to accelerate critical infrastructure projects statewide. The projects will modernize the transportation system, strengthen the state’s water resiliency and boost water supply, and help build a 100 percent clean electric grid.
In May, Newsom signed an executive order establishing the Infrastructure Strike Team tasked with implementing a strategy to fast-track infrastructure projects and remove barriers to project development.
