BuildUS believes in the transformative power of a building agenda. When communities, governments, labor and businesses work together with the right resources and support, we can create better jobs, deliver critical infrastructure, improve climate and manufacturing outcomes, and make sure working people feel the benefits of prosperity in their everyday lives. To make this possible, we need to collaborate with partners on projects that put public resources to work creating tangible public benefits. We need to lift up working people’s voices to identify the right projects and resources—and make sure we all benefit. We need to celebrate our successes and build public will for policy that puts people first. The result is a strong and clean economy that works better for more people, a thriving democracy, and resilient communities. That’s why—no matter what obstacles we face—the time to build is now.
“A building agenda supports workers, communities and businesses with the tools they need to grow an economy that helps everyone get ahead.”
While the current environment brings real headwinds for working families, we can chart a new path forward that holds promise for stakeholders who start from differing viewpoints. We can improve the bottom line for families, build cleaner communities, and restore public will for a government that works for all of us.
