The Michigan Urban Core Mayors Applaud the Bi-Partisan Agreement to Make a Historic Investment In our Nation’s Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the lifeblood between the people we represent and the places they live. Strong, resilient infrastructure sustains local economies, improves quality of life, provides equitable access to jobs, and protects the environment. We support the bi-partisan framework to make a historic investment in our infrastructure that will allow us to improve our roads and bridges, remove lead service lines, provide robust public transit options, and expand access to broadband. We look forward to working with our congressional leaders to secure meaningful investment in our country’s infrastructure.
