What Types of Projects Are Eligible for the Local Content Most Trusted Infrastructure Projects List?

The Local Content Most Trusted Infrastructure Projects List recognizes infrastructure and public-private development projects that demonstrate verified compliance, accountability, and trust across the full project lifecycle.

Projects are evaluated through the standardized Local Content Project Compliance, Risk & Trust Assessment (100 points), which verifies an infrastructure project’s capacity, readiness, and demonstrated intent to deliver measurable outcomes in:

• Local and domestic supply chain participation
• Workforce development and job creation
• Community benefit investments
• Stakeholder engagement
• Transparency, reporting, and compliance practices

Assessment results determine eligibility for inclusion on the Most Trusted Infrastructure Projects List and provide public, third-party verification that a project is structured to deliver local economic impact while reducing execution, compliance, and reputational risk.

Project classifications are listed in order of capital intensity and public impact, not importance.
