Washington, D.C. – TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation economy CEOs and senior executives, applauded today’s bipartisan passage of an infrastructure bill in the U.S. Senate. The following statement can be attributed to Linda Moore, TechNet President and CEO:

“This bill is a historic long-term investment in America’s future and a meaningful step toward preparing our country for a new century of economic growth and endless possibilities.

“The bipartisan bill represents significant progress in our efforts to expand broadband access to all corners of our country and will ensure that millions of Americans, from students and families to workers and small business owners, have the digital tools and resources needed to compete, creating new opportunities and innovations and jumpstarting economic growth.

“Combined with President Biden’s recent Executive Order on electric vehicles, this bill will also make our roads more connected and sustainable and transportation more accessible and efficient while strengthening America’s position as a global leader.

“President Biden and Senators of both parties have demonstrated vital leadership by negotiating a package that will rebuild our infrastructure, spur economic growth, and strengthen American competitiveness. We urge the House to cooperate in the same bipartisan fashion and quickly pass this significant legislation so President Biden can sign it into law as soon as possible.”
