"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Governor Moore's Financial Aid Plan for Affected Workers and Businesses"
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has prompted urgent action from the federal government to replenish the emergency relief fund, which currently has a $2.1 billion backlog of projects and only $890 million on hand. Maryland may require over $1 billion to rebuild the bridge, and President Biden has expressed support for federal funding to cover the full cost. However, there is a long list of other projects across various states waiting for federal support, highlighting the need for additional funding to address infrastructure emergencies nationwide.
