Portland Cement Association backs president’s call for infrastructure investment

US: The Portland Cement Association (PCA) has backed President Donald Trump’s call for US$1.5tn to be invested in infrastructure. It has urged the US Congress to take ‘swift’ legislative action to fund and sustain such projects.

“America’s cement producers are proud to play a critical role in what the president so aptly described as our nation of builders,” said PCA President and chief executive officer (CEO) Michael Ireland. “Today, our industry is ready to help America both rebuild long-neglected infrastructure, and construct new-and-improved transportation networks capable of serving the nation long into the future.” He added that the cement industry also supported the need to address significant federal funding gaps including a shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund.
