American Council of Engineering Companies Urges Congress to Move Forward on Infrastructure Plan
WASHINGTON — The American Council of Engineering Companies’ president and CEO, Linda Bauer Darr, released the following statement on the roll-out of the House infrastructure plan.
“The much-anticipated roll-out of the House infrastructure plan is an encouraging sign that momentum continues to build in Congress to pass legislation that will substantially invest in and modernize America’s transportation, water, and social infrastructure,” she said. “We are also encouraged by references to policies aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change and improving the resiliency of the nation’s infrastructure. The engineering industry is on the front lines of designing roads, bridges, ports, public buildings, and other structures that must endure more severe weather events and the higher storm surges and flooding they bring. We urge Congress to make resiliency a common theme throughout this legislation.
