Washington Post Quotes Susan Lent on Interest in Infrastructure Bill

For its article “‘The mother lode’: Cities and counties across America clamor for slice of new infrastructure funds,” The Washington Post quoted Akin Gump infrastructure and transportation practice head Susan Lent on interest in the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Stating “There’s more money than there’s ever been for infrastructure,” Lent said that she has been receiving inquiries from companies and municipalities, many of them wondering how to apply for the various grant, loan and tax credit programs in the bill.

She said, “We’re getting a lot of questions and a lot of interest. ‘What is this program? What are the strings attached?’ There is a lot of interest from folks seeing this law and wondering what the opportunities are.”
