A looming trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. threatens to disrupt supply chains critical to New York’s construction sector, which relies heavily on cross-border materials like steel, lumber, and concrete. Industry experts warn that tariffs and border delays could drive up costs and slow project timelines, particularly for large-scale developments. The construction industry’s dependence on Canadian imports—including key building components—makes it uniquely vulnerable compared to other sectors. Businesses in the region may face tough decisions as trade tensions escalate, raising concerns about project viability and workforce stability.
