President Donald Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will bring a rise in prices on raw materials, but some local businesses wonder if it will be worth it.
“It will definitely be a price increase, but it will give us American-made steel back,” said John Carey, president of Jarrett Welding Co. in Danville.
The 84-year-old business on Goodyear Boulevard makes parts for manufacturers, including handrails, mezzanines, and stairs. Jarrett performs a large amount of fabrication of structural steel, has a large machine shop and employs 23 workers.
