While Congress needs to act to address near-term priorities to keep businesses afloat, ACEC and stakeholder allies are urging lawmakers to begin action on longer-term measures that will kick start the economy and sustain growth in the coming years. ACEC supports an agenda that includes a long-term reauthorization of the FAST Act with sustainable and growing revenues, passage of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) to authorize new Corps of Engineers water projects and more funding and financing mechanisms to support water and wastewater projects, and measures to support energy markets, vertical projects, and other priorities in the built environment.

*Regarding water – the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will be voting this week on a WRDA package, as well as a bill to amendment the Safe Drinking Water Act State Revolving Fund (SRF) program. While the outlook remains uncertain in the Senate with respect to action on infrastructure in an economic recovery context, the fact that the Committee is moving forward to get specific pieces of legislation out of committee and potentially ready for floor consideration is encouraging.
