What does this do?
The Made in America Jobs Act of 2026 would amend the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 to add new approved uses for existing federal grants: bringing jobs back to the U.S. from overseas and growing the manufacturing industry. It does not create a new grant program, but broadens how current grants for public works, planning, training, and economic adjustment can be spent.
Who does it affect?
Local and regional economic development agencies, city and county governments, and manufacturing businesses would be affected. Workers in manufacturing communities could see effects if new or expanded factories result.
Why does it matter?
Because the change only broadens allowed uses of existing grants, its effects depend on how agencies choose to apply for and use the funds. The bill does not set new funding levels or guarantee specific outcomes.
