Washington, DC — Today, Jim Doyle, President of Business Forward, issued a statement in response to the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act:
“This week, President Biden brought Americans together to pass historic infrastructure investments that will create millions of jobs and make us more economically competitive. By closing the digital divide and expanding our electric vehicle infrastructure, America is truly “building back better.” To appreciate the President’s achievement in political terms, consider that President Trump promised investments like these for four years, but never delivered. President Biden got it done his first year.”

ABOUT BUSINESS FORWARD
Business Forward helps local business leaders make the “business case” for climate action, affordable healthcare, immigration reform, diversity and inclusion, sensible tax laws, criminal justice reform, infrastructure investment, and other pro-growth reforms. These leaders brief policymakers, work with local media, publish op-eds, submit testimony, advocate online, and organize their communities. We also promote their recommendations through issue briefs, survey reports, training manuals, and podcasts. More than 650 mayors, governors, members of Congress, and senior Administration officials have participated in our briefings.
