Register now and take advantage of discounted hotel rates for the January 27, 2009 Íæż½ã½ã-NCPPP joint Public-Private Partnerships conference.
On December 15, Íæż½ã½ã of America and its two California chapters formally petitioned the state of California to reconsider or repeal a new rule that would force construction companies across the state to retrofit or replace almost all of their heavy construction equipment.
The Íæż½ã½ã will lead a new coalition to advocate for measures to get important building projects moving again. The coalition, which includes the American Institute of Architects and a range of specialty contractor associations, will begin its work by focusing on ensuring the next stimulus includes funding to modernize aging and inefficient public buildings. The group also will encourage Congress and the next Administration to consider tax incentives to stimulate new private-sector building projects. For more information, contact Mike Stark at (703) 837-5365 or starkm@agc.org.
Íæż½ã½ã of America continues to aggressively advocate for contractors and ensure that Congress and the President-elect are fully aware of the benefits of a strong infrastructure component in any economic stimulus.
