A Message from Delve’s CEO, Jeff Berkowitz
After years of “Infrastructure Weeks” and months of legislative jockeying, Congress is poised to send a bipartisan infrastructure package to President Biden’s desk. Like many such bills, its passage represents countless hours by Members of Congress and their staff, along with pressures and encouragement from a wide range of outside interests. Last fall during the presidential transition, we outlined the bipartisan opportunities offered by an infrastructure bill like this one, and each of those is represented in the final package.
Yet, even as champagne gets chilled at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue and up and down K Street, smart government affairs professionals realize passage is just the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end. Particularly with legislation so historic in both size and scope, signing the bill merely passes the baton from Congress to federal agencies, and in many cases, state and local governments and private sector partners.
