With many companies closed due to quarantines, production lines have stopped, shipping containers remain in their ports, and there is no transportation of goods from these affected areas to the United States. In the coming months, contractors may have to find alternate, and likely more expensive, sources of goods and materials which could lead to project cost overruns.

What does the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, perhaps President Trump’s signature legislative achievement, mean for businesses? We turn to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center (TPC), located in Washington, D.C.
