What is your community's most pressing infrastructure need over the next few years? Whether your project is not yet planned, is headed to construction, or is somewhere in between, you can help encourage Congress to maintain the federal infrastructure funding you'll need to support it.

To bolster the data behind federal infrastructure work ahead, the National League of Cities (NLC) Research team has prepared a new local infrastructure priorities survey in which they encourage every city and town to note its most needed infrastructure project before March 12. NLC's goal is to receive every state’s information and create a national report of the country’s most pressing city infrastructure needs as well as individual state breakouts that senators and state municipal leagues can use in their state-level work.

Please help VLCT collect Vermont's most pressing infrastructure needs by completing NLC's priorities survey. The survey is simple to take: check box responses help you move through it quickly. 

FYI, NLC will testify at the House Transportation Committee’s kickoff hearing to reauthorize the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) on Wednesday, January 15 at 10 AM ET. Vanessa Fuentes, Mayor Pro Tem of Austin, Texas and the Chair of NLC's Transportation & Infrastructure Services Committee, will testify. IIJA, also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or BIL, greatly expanded the number of infrastructure programs that local governments can access. Now we need to protect the local-federal partnership programs in the face of limited federal funding and tough scrutiny in the renewal process.
