REBUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM: |

AIA members are doing their part to ensure a vibrant and sustainable future. But we need Congress and the Administration to act, as well – to remove regulatory barriers that prevent our industry from getting back to work; to reform outdated laws and regulations that hold us back; and to advance policies that support sustainable economic growth in all our communities. Here are the four planks of the AIA’s plan for economic growth. Working together, architects and policymakers can help rebuild the American dream. Learn more. Removing Barriers to Private Sector Lending Thousands of needed construction projects that would employ millions of Americans are on hold because credit is frozen. It’;s time to reign in regulatory overkill. Saving Energy, Creating Jobs Across the country, building owners, state and local governments and school districts want to lower energy bills by retrofitting their buildings. Congress can spur tens of thousands of more jobs by expanding incentives for green building. Helping Small Firms Grow Small architecture firms and sole practitioners work in every community in the country to help homeowners and businesses design better buildings. Congress needs to ensure that tax rates on small entrepreneurs are reduced and prevent efforts to penalize small design firms. Revitalizing America’s Neighborhoods Crumbling infrastructure, high unemployment and rising congestion have hurt our nation’s communities, reducing safety and increasing pollution. We need transportation reform legislation this year that gives people the ability to create and sustain prosperous communities with real choices in transportation options.
