With Congress now adjourned until September, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be without a budget and partially shut down for at least seven weeks, the Washington Business Journal reported. Without a reauthorization, the FAA is unable to pay for $2.5 billion for airport projects in all 50 states, according to a statement from the agency. Nearly 4,000 FAA employees in 35 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico remain furloughed, and the Associated General Contractors estimates that 70,000 workers in construction and related fields can no longer work or get paid under halted contracts.
