This date, which marks the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden signing into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), ASCE's Pennsylvania Council will unveil findings from its 2022 Report Card for Pennsylvania’s Infrastructure at news conferences in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittburgh, and the Lehigh Valley.
