Key Ideas
  • New York has received nearly $29 billion in federal grants through the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden in 2021.
  • Major projects include $1.6 billion for Metro-North Railroad improvements in the Bronx and Westchester, and $1.3 billion for the repair of the East River train tunnel in NYC.

  • Additional federal funding of $3 billion has been allocated to New York for clean energy initiatives and microchip manufacturing through other laws passed during Biden's presidency.
A substantial amount of federal funding has been allocated to New York following the passing of a massive infrastructure and clean energy funding measure by Congress in 2021. Two companies in the Rochester area have secured almost $76 million in grants to advance hydrogen-power technology. Various projects in different counties across New York, from road repairs to hybrid buses, have received significant grants. The $1.2 trillion infrastructure law has resulted in almost $29 billion in grants to New York, with a focus on improving transportation, including rail projects in the Bronx and Westchester. The funding also covers smaller projects like traffic signal replacements and bridge renovations. Furthermore, New York has received an additional $3 billion in federal funding for clean energy and microchip manufacturing through other legislation under President Biden's administration. This funding not only supports infrastructure upgrades but also promotes environmental remediation and technological advancements in the state.
