The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is a once-in-a–generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure. While this is an excellent opportunity for communities in our region, with approximately $350 billion spread across more than a dozen federal departments and agencies, it can also be intimidating. From finding match funding to making sure the right partners are included, there are a lot of factors to consider before applying. And if you are successful, what are strategies to make sure the grant is implemented successfully?
Centralina’s Integrated Mobility Center hosted a Centralina Learns webinar on October 24 to provide tips on seeking federal transportation funding as a local government.
Attendees heard from Gretchen Belk (NCDOT), Allison Anolik (McAdams consulting) and Jennifer Stafford (CRTPO). These speakers shed light on application requirements and strategies as well as what to do when a grant has been awarded.
Members can review the webinar and direct questions to Regional Mobility Program Manager Andy Grzymski.
