Pennsylvania Senate urges Congress to establish a National Infrastructure Bank (NIB), a proposed $5 trillion federally-capitalized bank to finance infrastructure projects nationwide

ASCE rated U.S. infrastructure at grade C in 2025, estimating $9 trillion needed for repairs and a $3.7 trillion funding gap; Pennsylvania received a C- grade across 15 infrastructure categories

Pennsylvania faces significant infrastructure deficits: $10.2 billion gap for public water systems, $18 billion annually for bridges (second-most poor-condition bridges nationally), $8.4 billion for wastewater, and $6.7 billion for stormwater projects

NIB would be capitalized using existing Treasury debt with no new federal spending or taxes, and would create an estimated 25 million jobs with prevailing wages and "Buy America" provisions

Resolution has endorsements from 30 state legislatures, National Association of Counties, and Pennsylvania entities including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Allegheny County, and Northampton County
