Beginning in 2021 with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), historic federal investments in the country’s infrastructure have created opportunities for states to access funding.
This page shares relevant information for states interested in resources about federal infrastructure and energy investments, including the ARPA, the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Since the available funding spans many federal agencies and media areas, this collection of resources is a central location for information about funding opportunities, including announcements of funding availability, applications and deadlines, published guidance documents, informational webinars and fact sheets, and other resources. This information should assist states with the process of tracking various funding opportunities and make it easier to take advantage of and communicate about available funding that is appropriate for their state’s needs and communities.
Funding Announcements
This section lists announcements related to ARPA, BIL, and IRA funding.
