During a speech delivered in Milwaukee, President Joe Biden unveiled a significant investment in infrastructure.
The president announced the earmarking of over $3 billion in grants nationwide to address longstanding issues of neglect in various neighborhoods and communities, particularly those historically underserved by transportation infrastructure.
Biden underscored the disproportionate impact of highways and rail lines on Black and low-income communities, leading to displacement and fragmentation over the years.
These infrastructure projects are made possible through the bipartisan infrastructure legislation championed by the president.
