APGA Applauds American Infrastructure Bonds Act

Washington, D.C. (April 23, 2021) – The American Public Gas Association (APGA), representing more than 700 local, municipally-owned natural gas systems in 38 states, issued the following statement in response to the recent introduction of the American Infrastructure Bonds (AIB) Act.

“APGA applauds Senators Wicker and Bennet for introducing this bipartisan piece of legislation. As American communities continue to rebuild from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, this timely and appropriate legislation can provide opportunities to invest in infrastructure projects in those communities at no cost to taxpayers. The AIBs can also provide municipalities with an additional financial tool to raise the much-needed capital for a wide range of projects, including improvements to public natural gas utilities. This will help our communities emerge from the pandemic and thrive for years to come.”
