BlueGreen Alliance Responds to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Request for Information Relating to the Implementation of the Build America, Buy America Act
As the BABA provisions in the BIL come into effect and strengthen the Buy America requirements associated with federal investments, the positive market and employment effects of United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs will be further magnified by supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs.
BABA Supports and Creates Good Jobs.
Executive Order 14052, calls on all federal agencies to prioritize improving job opportunities by focusing on high-road labor standards in the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Implementing policies, such as BABA, to increase domestic manufacturing of energy efficiency retrofit products used in affordable housing and water infrastructure projects under HUD’s jurisdiction, can help to support and create quality manufacturing jobs.
