We support the Trump administration’s efforts to create a rule that protects the waters of the U.S. and provides clarity for the public, regulators and businesses, which aligns with the Sackett decision.

Today, NSSGA sent a letter to the Senate strongly supporting the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act and urging prompt passage. Thank you @SenCapito, @SenWhitehouse, @SenMikeLee and @SenatorHeinrich—and @EPWGOP, @EPWCmte, @EnergyGOP and @EnergyDems—for your leadership and for working with the Trump administration to reach this bipartisan agreement. Real timelines, durable permits and project certainty will help America build the roads, housing, water systems and energy infrastructure our communities need.

Did you know that the economic impact of the aggregates industry goes beyond the industry? For every dollar of earnings created by the aggregates industry, an average of $4.95 is created in other industries. #ROCKtober #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA strongly endorses the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act and urges the Senate to act swiftly to advance and pass it. Reform should remain project-agnostic, supporting roads, housing, energy, water systems and other infrastructure alike. Permitting reform is not about weakening environmental protections; it is about allowing the country to build. We applaud @SenCapito, @SenMikeLee, @SenWhitehouse & @SenatorHeinrich for their leadership in developing this bipartisan legislation. #RocksBuildAmerica

NSSGA strongly supports the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act and urges the Senate to pass it promptly. It delivers the project certainty our industry needs—enforceable review timelines, clearer limits on litigation and permits that hold across administrations—so communities can get the aggregates required for roads, housing and infrastructure without needless delay or higher costs. We applaud @SenCapito, @SenMikeLee, @SenWhitehouse & @SenatorHeinrich for their leadership in crafting this bipartisan legislation. #RocksBuildAmerica
