President Donald J. Trump is following through on his promise to rebuild the country’s infrastructure. Yesterday in Cincinnati, Ohio, the President announced his infrastructure initiative that gives states and localities the ability to address their own critical infrastructure needs and to collaborate with private enterprises where it makes sense. It is time to recapture our legacy as a nation of builders — and to create new lanes of travel, commerce, and discovery that will take us into the future.
