Virtual Workshops on Infrastructure and Workforce Grant Opportunities
The Infrastructure Bill: What’s in it for you
The Infrastructure bill includes more than $1 trillion to strengthen an array of government systems and services. The legislation provides grants to state and local governments to improve transportation, cybersecurity, public safety, water and energy utilities, broadband internet connectivity, and more.
Learn how your jurisdiction can benefit from funding programs created or modified by the bill.
A virtual seminar will be held on April 14, 2022 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern.
Government Technology will host this live webinar to breakdown key funding streams and explain how state and local government agencies can best tap into this opportunity.
The interactive session will:
• Identify key funding streams to strengthen resilience for critical infrastructure and programs
• Prepare to apply for new state and local government cybersecurity grants that will roll out later this year
• Find key programs to support technology modernization to mobilize our citizens, increase their safety and improve citizen services connectivity, and more.
