This last two years has been challenging for municipalities. A silver lining may be Federal and State incentives for constructing infrastructure improvement projects. Building now can be a catalyst for your locality. Historically low interest rates; grants for smaller cities; and hungry construction companies coupled with newly approved design-build regulations enable municipal water and wastewater utilities to construct projects. Coupling the State’s existing programs with State Revolving Loan Funds; Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill); and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds can make the difference. Financing is often the stumbling block for municipal project construction. Join us as we show outline existing & future funding strategies for your municipality.
