AISTech 2022: Execs Say Infrastructure Spend Mean Bullish Times for Steel

Mill executives said they are ready for the demand infrastructure spending would generate during AISTech 2022’s Town Hall Forum in Pittsburgh this week.

“The infrastructure bill is positive for the entire industry and for downstream industries, but we need to cut red tape,” Cleveland-Cliffs chairman, president and CEO Lourenco Goncalves said. “The bill is great. It’s printed, but we need to turn that into real work.”
