Two years ago, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was signed into law by President Biden. The infrastructure law signified investments in improving transportation infrastructure, modernizing the electric grid, expanding access to high-speed internet, cleaning up legacy pollution, replacing lead pipes, and building a clean energy economy.
If you’re interested in commentary, insights or analysis on the impact the infrastructure law has had within the past two years and what should be seen in the coming years, please consider Leah Brooks, a Professor in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration at the George Washington University and Director of the Center for Washington Area Studies. Her work examines of Business Improvement Districts and land assembly to understand the resolution of collective action problems, analyzes the Community Development Block Grant program to understand the political economy of grant giving at the municipal and sub-municipal levels, investigates of the long-run impacts of streetcar investments in Los Angeles on urban form, and analyzes whether and why US infrastructure costs have increased.
