Infrastructure Law

Funding for Smart City Infrastructure

With the recent passage of the historic Infrastructure Law, there's a lot to parse through and many routes to approach the usage of new funds by cities.

Join us at Smart Cities Connect Conference and Expo where we will discuss details of the law, call upon experts to dive deeper, and come together to answer questions and brainstorm. Cities may also meet private partners who may amplify funding opportunities and advise on allocation, systems, and more.
