From restoring roads to advancing clean energy: How are states spending federal infrastructure dollars?

Deadly collapses of structures like Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge and an elevated section of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia are dramatic examples of American infrastructure failures. But millions more Americans are affected daily by dated and deteriorating structures across the country.

Americans make 178 million daily trips across structurally deficient bridges. Up to 10 million American households don’t have safe drinking water. More than 30 million Americans live in areas that lack high-speed internet. Climate and extreme weather events have killed nearly 2,000 Americans and caused over $600 billion in damages in just the past five years.

On the whole, U.S. infrastructure is ill-equipped for the demands of modern-day life. In response, the federal government has been pumping money into making repairs and improvements across the country through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021; the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which funds the domestic production of semiconductors and promotes various activities at science agencies; and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Through these, the federal government has announced $582.8 billion in funding toward public infrastructure, semiconductor development, and clean energy across the nation and its territories.

But how do these investments shake out on a local level? Truck Parking Club used White House public investments data to analyze how states are spending federal infrastructure dollars in their communities. This data represents public projects announced as of July that are funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS and Science Act. Projects spanning multiple states were not included in state analyses, but are reflected within national statistics.

Infrastructure encompasses all basic, necessary facilities and systems that service the country’s residents. This takes many forms, including roads, power grids, water service, and wireless internet. Much of U.S. infrastructure is aging and overburdened, creating delays, demanding maintenance, and in some cases, posing safety risks.

The inherent issues with safety, security, and the economy led to bipartisan support for the landmark government investments of the 2020s. In all, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will invest $1.2 trillion in transportation and infrastructure; the Inflation Reduction Act will invest $369 billion in energy production, manufacturing, and reducing carbon emissions; and the CHIPS and Science Act will invest $52.7 billion to fund in-country semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing through 2027.

Several of the largest projects will give billions to technology corporations to build manufacturing facilities stateside, with an aim to create a domestic supply of semiconductor chips. These small devices are found in many everyday items including computers, smartphones, cars, medical equipment, appliances—nearly any electronic device imaginable. The Department of Commerce has struck deals with Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and Micron to construct and expand these facilities.

Another set of leading investments was the National Clean Investment Fund grants, which provided nearly $14 billion to three green financing institutions. One plans to establish a U.S. national green bank, which will help connect green lenders to fund projects in low-income communities. All three investments are intended to provide affordable loans and other financing for green projects, such as solar installations, homes built with clean technologies, and high-efficiency electrical upgrades.

More than $26 billion has been allocated for projects in “resilience,” which refers to efforts to mitigate climate change and other threats. Examples of resilience projects include infrastructure to minimize or prevent damage from flooding or using funds to employ more wildland firefighters.

Transportation focus

Transportation projects dominate infrastructure funding allocations, according to the data so far. Just over half of federal dollars announced so far are geared toward transportation. Within the category, most funding has been doled out to build, repair, or modernize roads, bridges, and other major projects.

Some projects hit on several funding targets. For instance, the proposal to replace the bridge connecting Washington and Oregon via I-5 has received $2.1 billion in federal grants, and project planners expect they could receive another $1 billion. Parts of the existing bridge are over 100 years old, and the existing structures are at risk of collapsing in an earthquake. The new bridge is expected to implement new safety features, add auxiliary lanes, and expand public transit and active transportation options.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is also making the largest investment in passenger rail since Amtrak was created. Within the transportation category, the two largest line items in the project database are to build new railroad tunnels in Baltimore and under the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York.

Transportation projects claimed a majority of fund distributions in all but two states, Wyoming and Arizona. In the latter state, the U.S. has said it will provide up to $6.6 billion to TSMC Arizona Corp. to support the development of three advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This is the third-largest project investment that has been announced and the largest to go into a single state. In Wyoming, the other exception, the U.S. is partnering with TerraPower to build a nuclear power plant. The U.S. could invest up to $2 billion in the reactor in its efforts to advance clean energy.

Read on to see how transportation and other federal infrastructure dollars are being allocated in your state. States are listed in alphabetical order, with funds broken down by major categories provided in the White House data.

Philadelphia 76ers select Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. with 22nd pick in 2026 NBA draft

Philadelphia 76ers select Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. with 22nd pick in 2026 NBA draft


The Philadelphia 76ers selected Alabama guard Labaron Philon Jr. with the 22nd overall pick of the 2026 NBA draft Tuesday night.

Philon is the first pick of the Mike Gansey era after he replaced Daryl Morey as the team’s president of basketball operations.

Who is Labaron Philon Jr.?

Philon, 20, led the Crimson Tide in scoring last season, averaging 22.0 points on nearly 40% shooting on 3-pointers. He was the focal point of one of the nation’s most potent offenses, as Alabama led the country in points per game in the 2025-26 season. The Crimson Tide (No. 16) finished the season with a 25-10 record and went 13-5 against conference opponents.

Philon, who helped lead Alabama to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, earned Third-Team All-American and First-Team All-SEC honors in his sophomore season.

In 33 games last season for Alabama, Philon scored 725 total points, which is ranked third-most by a player in a single season in program history.

Philon was the 34th-ranked basketball recruit in the country entering his freshman season at Alabama, according to 247sports. The four-star guard initially committed to playing at Auburn, but decommitted. He then signed a letter of intent to play at Kansas, but didn’t play there, either. He then committed to the Crimson Tide in April 2024.

Philon impressed as a freshman at Alabama and averaged 10.6 points in 37 games. He declared for the 2025 NBA draft but then withdrew and returned for his sophomore season, where he saw his scoring average jump more than 10 points.

Philon is a Mobile, Alabama, native and played at Baker High School in Mobile County, where he scored 2,334 points in three seasons. He was named the Class 7A Player of the Year twice. 

As a junior, he averaged 35 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists and was named Alabama Mr. Basketball, which is given to the best high school boys’ basketball player in the state. Philon transferred to Link Academy, a boarding school in Missouri, for his senior year of high school.

Philon now joins a backcourt headlined by Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe heading into the 2026-27 season. Quentin Grimes could return to Philadelphia next season and add even more depth, but he’s an unrestricted free agent.

The pick the Sixers used to pick Philon was acquired in the deal that sent Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the trade deadline.

Labaron Philon Jr. scouting report

CBS Sports had Philon ranked as the 14th-best prospect in the 2026 NBA draft.

Here are his strengths and weaknesses, according to CBS Sports:

Strengths

  • On-ball creator who made an extreme leap as a sophomore, ranking in the 99th percentile in isolations (was 24th percentile as a freshman) and 94th as a pick-and-roll handler (was 32nd percentile as a freshman). Combines smooth attack with sudden change of speed and direction, dexterity, and finishing craft in the lane.
  • Shot-maker who can make tough shots off both the catch (36% on contested catch-and-shoot 3-pointers), dribble (38% from deep), and has extreme gravity when he’s spacing the floor (46% on unguarded catch-and-shoot 3-pointers).
  • Shown pliability to thrive in different roles over the years and is a similarly versatile creator, because he’s a scoring threat at multiple levels and also an accurate, and somewhat creative, passer with both hands off the dribble.

Weaknesses

  • Inconsistent defensive approach. Showed more engagement and potential as a freshman, but couldn’t maintain that as a sophomore when taking on a bigger offensive role.
  • Lacks overwhelming physicality or highest level explosiveness, and didn’t add any notable muscle mass between his freshman and sophomore seasons (175 pounds at 2025 combine and 176 at 2026 combine).
  • Unclear how well his creation scales to the NBA level when he will have less usage and volume coupled by more physicality in opposing defenders.

Alabama hits home with plans for Tuscaloosa 2027 Edge on official visit




Alabama football hosted a hometown kid for an official visit last weekend when it got Jeremiah Beverley on campus for an official visit.

Beverley attends Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and ESPN currently has him rated as a four-star recruit. He is considering Alabama, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and others.

The Crimson Tide offered Beverley earlier this month and got him on campus for an official visit last weekend. The Alabama target told Touchdown Alabama he used the visit to learn what the Tide has planned for him if he commits.

“I’m truly happy that I went on that official visit,” Beverley said. “Blessed for that. All I was talking about was the next step, what I got to do? So, just knowing what they have planned for me, knowing what they have set for me.”

At 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds, Beverley makes plays for Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa as a defensive end. Alabama has plans to use him similarly at the next level.

“They’re going to have me at wolf mostly,” Beverley said. “I know coach (Kane) Wommack and coach (Christian) Robinson, I think they see me at other positions, but I know it is guaranteed they’re going to see me at Wolf and me working my way up on special teams, and they expect that out of me.”

Beverley is expected to announce a commitment decision on Friday.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.
