The Associated General Contractors of America reacted to the announcement with caution.
“Although some states have set up limited Buy Clean programs, these types of programs are new and their impacts on material supply chains have not been fully tested,” Brian Turmail, vice president of public affairs and strategic initiatives at AGC, told Construction Dive in an email. “We hope that the Biden administration works with industry to find a viable path forward on Buy Clean that doesn’t inhibit the ability to move forward on needed infrastructure projects.”
