The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 earmark billions of dollars in federal funding to improve infrastructure, develop clean energy, advance environmental justice, and build shared prosperity.
Our implementation guidance and funding trackers outline how communities in the Ohio River Valley can access and leverage federal funding opportunities. These resources represent just a subset of federal funding.
