The Association of Equipment Manufacturers is calling for bipartisan policies that support long-term economic growth in the industry.
Kip Eideberg, senior vice president of government and industry relations, says the infrastructure law is a good start.
“We are urging our elected officials to invest in our nation’s infrastructure. That means the rapid implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” he says. “Rural broadband, large capital investments in our core infrastructure assets – roads, bridges, ports, and airports.”
He says workforce, which is another priority, is needed to take advantage of infrastructure investments.
