IARN — Many of us know that in rural America, things can’t continue the way they have been. Our roads, rails, waterways, internet, and much more all need updating. There is much concern that any infrastructure plans will include more funding for larger coastal cities, and leave rural America completely underserved.
Yesterday, President Biden rolled out his infrastructure plan that he calls the American Jobs Plan. The statement from the President says that not only will it improve the infrastructure in parts of the country, but it will also put Americans to work to get it done.
Many groups are calling on the President to remember his campaign promise to not forget about those rural residents in the middle of the country. One of them is the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM).
