Grants to Prepare Sites for Manufacturing and Strengthen Critical Supply Chains.
This Act establishes a new federal grant program to fund the development of undeveloped industrial sites, making them ready for manufacturing projects. The goal is to strengthen domestic supply chains, incentivize companies to return production to the U.S. (reshoring), and attract foreign investment. This initiative aims to create new jobs, particularly in rural and economically disadvantaged areas, by funding infrastructure and workforce training.
