State Infrastructure Grants – Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration A Message from Secretary Hudson As Secretary of the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, I recognize Arkansas’ infrastructure is critical to the State’s success. Centrally located, with Interstate 40 running through the heart of the State, Arkansas serves as a logistical hub, attracting both small businesses and the world’s largest companies.
The State’s strong, versatile workforce and abundance of resources provide a foundation for opportunity. As people and companies continue to choose Arkansas, we must prepare our infrastructure to accommodate growth and ongoing expansion.
Understanding that many federal infrastructure programs require a match, the Arkansas General Assembly has set aside $200 million which Departments can apply for as they seek federal infrastructure funding. As Arkansans, we work together for the benefit of our great State. We will rely on the strength of these partnerships as we establish and maintain world-class infrastructure.
I encourage you to continue visiting this site as we highlight innovative projects across the State. Arkansas’ Office of the Infrastructure Coordinator With new federal funding available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Arkansas Office of the Infrastructure Coordinator was established to work closely with various stakeholders to maximize the impact of this funding across the State.
In January 2023, Governor Sanders established the Arkansas Office of the Infrastructure Coordinator as a division within the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. This office works closely with stakeholders to maximize the impact of federal infrastructure funding across Arkansas.
This includes engaging with federal agencies, city and county leaders, departments across state government, the Arkansas General Assembly, and the National Governor’s Association to prioritize and implement a breadth of infrastructure projects, leveraging critical public and private partnerships where possible.
Over the next several years, the State anticipates leveraging billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funding through broadband, transportation, water, energy, and other vital sectors. This amount is expected to increase as departments identify and seek competitive funds.
The Governor’s Office, Office of the Infrastructure Coordinator, department leaders, and other stakeholders identified the following five priority areas to guide Arkansas’ infrastructure investments: Facilitating Statewide Economic Growth and Competitiveness Preparing the Infrastructure Workforce Preserving and Promoting the Natural State Creating a Portfolio of Reliable, Efficient, and Secure Energy Options Facilitating Statewide Economic Growth and Competitiveness Growing and expanding the economy within Arkansas by increasing access to economic opportunities for communities, advancing transportation and commerce, and maintaining a resilient supply chain.
Improving public and transportation safety provisions through promoting road and highway safety education and training programs, strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure, and making safety improvements to roads and bridges. Preparing the Infrastructure Workforce Scaling up the workforce needed for project delivery, promoting access to quality jobs, and developing a pipeline of talent across the State.
Preserving and Promoting the Natural State Celebrating the State's natural resources to develop, create and sustain outdoor recreation, business and employment opportunities through ecology initiatives, environmental resiliency projects, and proper water management practices.
Creating a Portfolio of Reliable, Efficient, and Secure Energy Options Expanding efficient energy options available to Arkansans through resource development while maintaining a strong energy workforce and secure electric power grid that can withstand emergencies and severe weather.
Beyond the identified Priority Areas, key stakeholders, including the Governor’s Office, the State Infrastructure Coordinator, and department leaders, have established five Investment Principles. These principles aim to guide the State towards financially sustainable infrastructure investments while maximizing impacts across the State.
These Investment Principles are: Maximizing Reach: Prioritizing opportunities that generate significant impact for many Arkansans Fiscal Responsibility: Evaluating programs based on match requirements, financial sustainability, and the frequency of recurring costs Improving Core Services: Improving quality of life by enhancing access to essential infrastructure Expanding Access and Connectivity: Investing to strengthen transportation and digital networks, linking communities throughout the State Driving Rural Impact: Expanding the availability and quality of infrastructure in rural communities to support economic development and jobs View resources that provide additional information for infrastructure opportunities administered at the federal level.
The Infrastructure Roadmap outlines the State’s infrastructure priority areas and investment principles developed by the State Infrastructure Coordinator and presents nearly 100 grant opportunities which align with these areas and principles that could be leveraged by the State.
The Direct Federal Spending summary outlines additional funding that is impacting Arkansas through non-State entities in energy and power, public transportation, resilience, ports and waterways, and regional organizations.
