AGC Warns of Negative Impacts on Project Delivery and Environment
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed legislation which would expand the Buy America requirement to include construction materials. AGC and other industry stakeholders are concerned that this new requirement would include but not be limited to aggregates that are used to make products like cement and asphalt. AGC is very concerned about the impacts that this new requirement would have on the construction supply chain, project delivery and the environment. AGC and other industry stakeholders recently met with the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to reconsider this approach. The House of Representatives is set to take up this legislation the week of June 28.
