AISI, SMA cheer BUILD America 250 Act as helping US steel industry

Steel trade groups have come out in support of the Building Unrivaled Infrastructure and Long-term Development for America’s 250th Act (BUILD America 250 Act), saying it will increase demand for US-made steel.

The legislation’s purpose is to “authorize funding for federal-aid highways, bridge construction and rehabilitation, highway safety programs, transit programs and rail programs, and for other purposes,” according to the Build America 250 Act.
