Infrastructure projects also include seaports. Georgia hopes for big money for the Savannah seaport, which is one of the biggest in the USA and essential for bringing in all the offshore manufactured crap.
But Georgia politicians, both R and D, boast that the infrastructure project will pay for itself in increased economic growth to Georgia. So if the bi-partisan politicians are telling the truth, then Georgia has the ability to do the Savannah seaport project without any Federal money. Indeed, with solely Georgia in control of the project, the project will clearly be better managed and be far more successful.
Georgia should not want the Feds in this project.
No issue there, and typically those projects are not run by the feds.
Airports, for example, get some federal money (mostly for runways), but the VAST MAJORITY of their money comes from airlines and those damn PFCs.
