Details
The monumental bill ensures that States will receive vital investment in order to repair/replace aging and crumbling infrastructure like roads, bridges and trains. New York is set to receive the lion’s share of this money. In order to build new infrastructure, especially in New York City, the government may have to acquire property that is in the way. Most of the time, this is accomplished by the government’s exercise of its eminent domain powers under the 5th Amendment to the US Constitution.
