ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS CONSORTIUM
Mission and Vision
The mission and vision of IJC is to generate value for private, Federal, State, Municipal, University and Tribal organizations by identifying, capturing, tracking, and winning funding of near and long-term public and private investments into infrastructure and jobs. In addition, IJC coordinates and develops the local go-to points for planning, prioritizing, and coordinating federal investment and infrastructure investments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
Many states regions, counties, and cities develop economic infrastructure and job development plans independent of one another, follow different structures, and do not link back to an overall statewide/regional strategy or objective. The consortium brings together a myriad of entities to develop strategies on how to smartly invest in infrastructure and jobs. The consortium serves as a means to bring all of the strategies and plans under one roof to ensure that a bottom-up strategy is tailored to meet the diverse needs of entities throughout the United States. Our mission is to integrate ideas and strategies to ensure that investments lead to the greatest economic impact, and meet an areas workforce development and growth goals. IJC serves as a liaison between federal, state, tribal and local governments and municipalities in Washington D.C. and throughout the United States. Our work cross-cuts many areas including the Investment Infrastructure and Jobs Act - IIJA (Pub.L.117-58), also called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Fund (BIF) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
