President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced Tuesday the recipients of the administration’s new National Infrastructure Project Assistant (Mega) discretionary grant program.
The new Mega grant program will provide $1.2 billion in discretionary funds to nine large infrastructure projects across the country.
“From the Hoover Dam to the Golden Gate Bridge, some infrastructure projects are so large and complex that they defy traditional funding systems—and so significant that they become iconic parts of the American landscape,” Buttigieg said. “After receiving over one hundred applications, we are proud to fund these nine infrastructure megaprojects across the country to create jobs, strengthen our supply chains, expand our economy, and renew America’s built landscape.”
