National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) President and CEO Jay Timmons issued the following statement after final passage of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN):
“There’s no better way to end the 114th Congress than with a long-awaited victory for manufacturers. With WIIN, we can keep our manufactured goods moving on America’s waterways. We can get our products to market more quickly—certainly a win for customers and a win for the men and women who make those products. But now, let’s take it to the next level. The next Congress and new administration should build on this achievement with a bigger, comprehensive plan for infrastructure renewal, as laid out in the NAM’s ‘Building to Win’ infrastructure initiative.
“There is so much more we have to build if we’re going to grow manufacturing and lead in the world economy. Manufacturers are encouraged that President-elect Donald Trump is committed to infrastructure investment, including for our waterways, and has even cited ‘Building to Win’ in his campaign platform. We’re ready to get to work and look forward to the new opportunities in the new year.”
