![]() The President and the Attorney General will join with law enforcement officials alongside elected leaders, including Mayor Adams, Governor Hochul, at the New York Police Department headquarters to discuss the work that federal, state, and local law enforcement officials are doing to quickly take guns and repeat shooters off of our streets.Īfterward, President Biden, Attorney General Garland, Mayor Adams, Governor Hochul, and other elected leaders will visit with community violence intervention leader - leaders in Queens to talk about the community-led work to interrupt gun violence. He will be joined on the trip by Attorney General Garland to talk about the steps the administration has taken so far to reduce cri- gun crime, and how we can be a strong partner for New York City and other cities grappling with increased gun violence over the past two years. As you know, the President is headed to New York City on Thursday, and I wanted to give you a quick preview of his trip. He called for each state to appoint an infrastructure implementation lead, and we are committed to showing transparency on how money is allocated and spent.Īlso, one other update for all of you at the top. So, to ensure accountability and transparency, Mitch Landrieu and the infrastructure team convened a meeting with inspector general - inspectors generals - general from all agencies with funding from the infrastructure law to discuss oversight and transparency. And the formula funds in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law include flexibility to deal with unique local and state challenges.Īs we’ve also said many times, with flexibility comes great responsibility to use funds wisely. We mentioned yesterday - or I talked a little bit yesterday about this large guidebook we had put out to provide guidance and information to communities to apply for the part of this that will be through competitive awards.Īs we did with the American Rescue Plan, we also know that local leaders have the best sense of where the communities need funding. State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments will receive over 90 percent of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to rebuild their communities. That includes over $50 billion to states for highways and roads $14 billion for 500 Army Corps projects over $5 billion for - to states for bridges over $7 billion to states for water infrastructure $3 billion to repair and rebuild over 3,000 airports $1 billion to support Superfund cleanup to 49 sites and $239 million in Port Infrastructure Development Grants.Īnd this is just the beginning, and we’ll do our best to provide you all updates in here on the status of these funds being allocated. To date, over $80 billion has already been allocated and is headed out to states, territories, and local governments. In the 79 days since the bill - the law was signed, our team has hit the ground running to get money out the door, engage partners, and provide comprehensive resources to help municipalities unlock funding opportunities so no community is left behind. I know there was some good questions yesterday about the status of the infrastructure law implementation, so I just wanted to bring you a few updates that are hopefully helpful to all of you.
