ARLINGTON, Va., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal spending on transportation and other infrastructure projects across the country is slated to top $200 billion in the next two years. The $150 billion for new infrastructure spending in the recently-passed economic stimulus package is only one aspect of a huge federal infusion of capital planned for building and maintaining high-speed rail systems, highways and bridges, airports, pipelines, and energy grids. Major spending is also anticipated for mass transit, clean water, green technology, broadband, and other infrastructure projects. Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report, a new print and electronic service from the specialized news and information publisher BNA, will be a critical resource for stakeholders seeking to monitor the flow of federal funding into state and local economies. "Lawyers, government affairs professionals, energy companies, engineers, architects and building contractors are among the many, many professional groups that will be involved in rebuilding different parts of the nation's crumbling infrastructure in the next few years and overhauling the energy efficiency of the nation's existing structures," said Stephanie I. Cohen, BNA Senior Editor. "They will find Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report an essential tool in tracking these new funding streams and program initiatives at the local, state, federal and international level, and in ways that will contribute to their success."
