H.R. 7342
The Made in America Jobs Act of 2026 aims to encourage job creation and growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector by expanding eligibility for certain grants. These grants are part of the Economic Development Administration's public works program and now include projects that help bring jobs back to the U.S. or grow the manufacturing industry. The bill specifically updates grants related to public works and economic development, planning and administrative expenses, training, research, technical assistance, and areas facing economic challenges.
