On Mar. 28, AGC led a coalition of fifteen trade associations in a briefing to House and Senate staff about the basics of federal construction contracting. In coordination with the Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) of the House Small Business Committee, the briefing included an industry presentation and a question and answer session. The presentation, What Every Congressional Staffer Should Know About the Construction Industry, answered fundamental questions such as: how contractors can enter the federal market, how contractors find what federal projects are out for bid, and what resources are for available for contractors. AGC continues to advocate for infrastructure and will continue to work to educate congressional offices about the construction industry.
