Thought Leaders on Infrastructure video series.  Shant Boyajian, a Partner with Nossaman LLP, highlights the infrastructure challenges which small cities and municipalities confront.  Shant notes that smaller municipalities may indeed have key infrastructure which needs renovation or replacement.  The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provided money for public agencies in these small jurisdictions to get technical assistance.  In addition, federal funding can now be allocated through discretionary means, rather than via a formula.
