Additionally, the bill includes provisions to support small and medium-sized businesses in the manufacturing sector, such as access to low-interest loans and grants for research and development. The goal of these provisions is to help smaller companies compete with larger corporations and grow their businesses. Overall, the Build It in America Act is aimed at revitalizing the US manufacturing sector and creating jobs for American workers. By providing incentives for companies to produce goods domestically and supporting small businesses in the manufacturing sector, the bill seeks to strengthen the US economy and promote economic growth.
