Public procurement localisation
On December 11, 2018 the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that it had provided $20,000,000 for the Appalachian NGL Hub Rail Transloading Facility in Ohio, subject to Buy-America rules, as part of the department’s Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) transportation discretionary grants program. The BUILD program is a new title for what was earlier known as the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program, approved by Congress as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Section 1605 of the ARRA specified that grants under this program must meet Buy-America conditions.
