"There's been a lot going on and we almost forget that the federal government is approaching its third week of shutdown. The administration has used the time to cancel and pause billions in grants in the places you might guess. Tony Romm and Lazaro Gamio for the New York Times have the analysis."
"The Times conducted its analysis by examining federal funding records, which include details about the city and state where each grant recipient is based. The projects include new investments in clean energy, upgrades to the electric grid and fixes to the nation's transportation infrastructure, primarily in Democratic strongholds, such as New York and California."
The federal government is in its third week of shutdown. The administration has canceled and paused billions of dollars in federal grants. Federal funding records include recipient city and state details, enabling an analysis of geographic impacts. Affected projects encompass new investments in clean energy, upgrades to the electric grid, and fixes to transportation infrastructure. The paused and canceled grants are concentrated primarily in Democratic strongholds, including New York and California. Those disruptions threaten progress on local clean-energy initiatives, grid modernization efforts, and transportation projects. The cancellations and pauses redirect federal investment timelines and may delay scheduled construction and deployment.
