Power Up: IIJA Invests in Utility Infrastructure

Since the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was enacted in November 2021 – providing more than $1 trillion in funding to improve essential infrastructure in the transportation, power and grid, aviation, environmental remediation, and water sectors – CHA has been monitoring the situation and stands ready to respond. The act is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next five years and bring much-needed investment to the country’s core aging infrastructure.

We’re excited to announce the release of CHA's IIJA Power White Paper, authored by Frank Peverly, PMP, Utility Market Segment Leader, which discusses IIJA funding to build, improve, and expand utility infrastructure and clean energy systems. Investing in infrastructure is investing in our future, and CHA is ready to be a part of that.

With seven decades of industry experience, our teams bring IIJA-funded projects and programs to successful completion with our inspired talent, forward-leaning technology, and innovative approach to project delivery.

Watch for more as funding and action on the IIJA rolls out over the next few months and years – CHA will be there.
