Stimulating Improvements
The infrastructure of the U.S. was given an average grade of "D" by the ASCE's "Report Card for America's Infrastructure."
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) directed approx. $72 billion toward infrastructure spending. Many opportunities exist in the improvements and modernization of the nation's bridges and energy efficiency.
