\u201cI\u2019m proud to see that our bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has passed the United States Senate,\u201d dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/b> \u201cThis comprehensive and critical legislation will allow us to make historic investments in our communities through infrastructure. The bill, which includes the text of 3 of my bills and numerous other provisions I spearheaded, would take major steps to support our traditional infrastructure \u2013 roads and bridges, rail, and transit \u2013 and also invest in forward-thinking cybersecurity and energy infrastructure to support our nation\u2019s future, creating new jobs and building up our communities in the process.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout this process, I have been a voice for Nevada, ensuring that this bill uniquely benefits our state and addresses issues that matter most to our state including steps to address the water crisis, increase broadband connectivity, and provide funding to improve and expand our airports,\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Senator Rosen continued.<\/b> \u201cAs was made clear over the last year, fast, reliable access to the internet is critical to our daily lives. The broadband section of the bill, which I co-wrote, would make broadband access more available and more affor<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>dable, connecting communities across Nevada and all over the U.S. Additionally, a separate section of the bill I co-wrote would provide funding for our nation\u2019s airports, allowing for key construction, expansion, upgrade, and repair projects. These investments will better connect our state to the nation and the world, allowing Nevada\u2019s travel and tourism industries to soar once again.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/u1_p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
