Check Out the New, Revised NASBP Resources
NASBP recently updated all its NASBP Resource Maps (NASBP login required) to reflect legislative changes that may have occurred in 2022. Often NASBP receives inquiries from members and from others outside NASBP concerning what states have enacted public-private partnership (P3) legislation to require bonding or what are the various state Little Miller Act bonding requirements. All NASBP Resource Maps are accessible here and below. Should you discover a resource which needs revision, please do not hesitate to contact NASBP.

Revised IIJA Progress and Calendar of Opportunities
Last month, the White House Infrastructure Team revised its state-by-state fact sheets, which outlines the progress after the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). As projects get underway, anyone can select a particular state to review upcoming projects, along with anticipated funding per project category over the next five years. NASBP has received numerous inquiries from NASBP members about IIJA projects and their allocated funding and timing so we want to remind all NASBP members where this information can be accessed. NASBP members may also want to review the Maps of Progress, an interactive illustration of 20,000 IIJA funded projects to date. Finally, the White House has dedicated a webpage to showcase upcoming contracting opportunities that communities can apply for today, along with a calendar for funding opportunities in 2023.
