“We know that needs, capacity, and challenges can vary widely by locality,” the letter from Landrieu, reads. “We need to make sure our programs reflect these realities across your state and our country and having a senior, single point of contact in your office will help ensure that issues get elevated appropriately and rapidly.”
Landrieu suggested governors could create their own infrastructure task forces—modeled after the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force created by the President in November—to help integrate all aspects of the implementation process. The President’s task force is co-chaired by Landrieu, who is the former mayor of New Orleans, and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese. Read more here.
