Lawmakers push for innovative materials in national infrastructure

August 2018

A group of U.S. senators from both sides of the aisle have introduced the Innovative Materials for America's Growth and Infrastructure Newly Expanded (IMAGINE) Act, which, if enacted, will support research and investment in new, state-of-the-art materials for use in U.S. transportation and water infrastructure projects. The bill's sponsors are Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
