Javier Palomarez, USHBC President, Commends Congressional Hispanic Caucus for Infrastructure Implementation Roundtable
Javier Palomarez states that, "Given the significant role of Hispanic owned businesses and Hispanic workers in the infrastructure sector, discussions like these are critical to the success of our community. We commend the CHC for hosting a roundtable discussion on such an important issue.”
Javier Palomarez continues by saying, “The IIJA has had a significant impact on our nation's economy, leading to the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in contracting opportunities, and improving life for Americans through over 50,000 infrastructure projects. However, it is important to acknowledge that while the act has numerous merits, Hispanic-owned businesses have not received a proportionate share of the benefits. In fact, across the board, Hispanics only receive about 2% of contracting dollars awarded.
Moving forward, we hope to see a more equitable distribution of funds, ensuring that the benefits and opportunities that come with this generational investment are equally accessible for all Americans."
