Reimagine Main Street, in partnership with 14 other national business organizations, has released initial findings from a new survey of businesses and their experiences with corporate and government contracting.

• This preview focuses on more than 400 businesses that compete in sectors relevant to Investing in America, and the resulting massive public and private sector investments in infrastructure, clean tech, and reshoring of advanced manufacturing to create industries of the future and new on-shore supply chains.
  
  
• These new survey findings show there are diverse businesses ready, willing and able to compete for contracts and build supply chains of the future.
  
  
• The Investing in America agenda directs over $1 trillion of new public and private investment in strengthening American infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and innovation across the country.
