Building a better America

President Trump’s infrastructure plan aims for $1.5 trillion in investment by federal, state and private funding. The federal government’s $200 billion share would be split among five programs:

$100 billion in incentive 1 grants to help state and local governments pay for projects. Those in which state and local governments pick up most of the tab will be viewed more favorably.

$50 billion for block grants 2 to governors to fund rural infrastructure projects

$20 billion to expand existing 3 government lending programs for transportation, water and rail projects

4 $20 billion for “transformative” programs for visionary projects that can “lift the American spirit”

$10 billion for a capital-financing 5 fund for federal government office buildings
