WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden plans to name former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu senior advisor responsible for implementing the infrastructure plan that passed with bipartisan approval earlier this month.
Landrieu will over oversee the building of roads, bridges and rail, and improvements in ports, airports and mass transit as the global supply chain crisis continues.
He will also oversee the implementation of clean energy, climate resistance investments and expand access to high-speed internet.
Landrieu served as mayor for New Orleans from 2010 to 2018, helping the city recover from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2010 BP oil spill.
