We applaud​ the tireless effort and the leadership of Rep. Josh Gottheimer to push forward the $1 trillion federal infrastructure bill, passage of which is critical to New Jersey's economic recovery. The legislation has passed the U.S. Senate. We now urge the U.S. House of Representatives to pass it swiftly so the president can sign it and get $12 billion in infrastructure money flowing to New Jersey for roads, bridges, rail and the long-sought Gateway tunnel under the Hudson River. We encourage New Jersey's House delegation to support this bill. The longer our elected leaders wait to pass this legislation, the more our roads, bridges, and highways will deteriorate.​
