US Reshoring Advocacy
Research-led. Community-informed. Focused on U.S. reshoring in 2027.
Make Manufacturing Experience Part of the Policy Conversation
Black Book Insights brings its manufacturing research and advisory perspective to the discussion about America’s industrial future, connecting policy questions with the practical decisions facing companies, investors and communities.
Our advocacy focus for 2027 is informed participation: helping stakeholders examine policy commitments, document their experience and bring specific questions to the officials responsible for implementation.
“What rules can businesses plan around?
Which incentives are accessible?
How do policy changes affect the cost and timing of domestic production?”
These questions have immediate relevance. President Donald Trump’s administration has revised manufacturing-related tariffs during 2026, including equipment provisions scheduled to run through December 2027. Manufacturers report rising costs and trade uncertainty, alongside improved business optimism. Federal manufacturing tax incentives also remain available, making their eligibility, implementation and practical value important parts of the discussion.
The task is to understand that record—not assume every announcement becomes an operating factory or that every investment has stalled.
01
Policy Clarity
Examine trade rules, incentive commitments and regulatory requirements against actual investment timelines. Identify what is established, what is proposed, what expires and what remains unresolved. Put policy consistency into concrete terms: the assumptions a business must make before committing capital.
02
Factory-Level Evidence
Bring documented experience into the discussion. Record how equipment prices, energy availability, financing, workforce needs and supply-chain conditions affect a project. Distinguish policy effects from other business conditions, and include both improvements and setbacks.
Our central questions concern execution: What changed? Which decision did it affect? What happened to the investment, production schedule or employment plan?

Bring Your Experience to the Discussion
Has a policy change helped an expansion, increased its costs or altered its timetable? Has an incentive supported a project—or proved difficult to access?
Share the decision, the date and the measurable effect. Black Book Insights welcomes these perspectives to inform its reshoring research and the questions examined as businesses and communities prepare for 2027.
