ARRA 'Buy American' Mandate Draws Flak Publication Date: 17-JUN-09 Author: Tom Ichniowski Format: HTML

Description:
Criticism of “Buy American” provisions within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is intensifying in the U.S. and Canada. Canadian companies say they’re being hurt, and U.S. business interests worry Canada could impose retaliatory restrictions. The focus is ARRA’s estimated $280 billion, which states and localities administer, including billions of dollars for water and wastewater facilities and other infrastructure projects.
