Infrastructure funding 2023

After a good start in 2022, there’s still a lot to do to deploy federal infrastructure funds potentially available from the IIJA, IRA, and CHIPS acts. We identify five key focus areas prospective grant recipients from states, municipalities, utilities, and private-sector construction and manufacturing firms should consider to help accelerate shovel-worthy projects:

1. Focus on priority areas through clear asset strategies
2. Overcome supply chain challenges through transparent procurement planning
3. Prioritize workforce development
4. Accelerate capital program delivery excellence
5. Leverage new federal money with additional public and private capital
