The U.S. Interior Department will send $125 million from the bipartisan infrastructure law to scores of local climate resiliency and conservation projects.
Speaking at the Society of Environmental Journalists annual conference, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland promoted several aspects of the Interior Department’s agenda, including programs receiving funds from the $1.9 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law and Democrats’ 2022 climate and spending law, both of which President Joe Biden signed.
Secretary Haaland called the spending in those laws “once-in-a-generation funding.”
“These investments have the potential to be transformational,” she said.
She said the funding announced Friday will support 240 projects throughout the country. A full list of projects is available here.
