What’s in the Biden American Jobs Plan?

On March 31, President Biden announced a $2 trillion-plus proposal for a wide-ranging infrastructure bill. It is hugely ambitious in scope and includes investments to build a green economy and pursue social goals, in addition to repairing roads and bridges, etc. Andrew Garbutt, a principal in our Infrastructure Advisory Practice has written a concise review of the proposal, including his insights about how the proposal may—or may not—become law.
