Cities, towns and villages are winning federal grants to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure due to the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Passed by Congress and signed by President Biden on November 15, 2021, BIL represents a historic opportunity for local access to federal infrastructure funding to rebuild transportation, water, broadband and more. The IRA, which was signed into law on August 22, 2022, offers many tax incentives and additional funding opportunities to local governments for energy and climate resiliency infrastructure.
The Rebuilding America dashboard is a new resource showing which cities, towns and villages have successfully received direct federal grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act as of August 21, 2024. The dashboard contains announced and awarded funding made publicly available by the White House. New awards are released by federal agencies on a rolling basis, and there are many opportunities for local governments to apply for available grants.
How to Use the Dashboard
Within this interactive tracker, users can select search filters below, such as by location and spending types, or search through the map to find detailed information on city plans for deploying BIL and IRA program funds.

* Please see the bottom of the page for source notes and terms of use. The dashboard includes grants delivered directly to municipalities. It does not include grants won by municipalities in collaboration with other entities. The data was last updated on August 21, 2024, and contains updated project data released by the White House on July 17, 2024, with new announced funding (recent as of June 11, 2024) and awarded funding (recent as of April 30, 2024). Future versions of this tracker will include more information as data is released.
