The American Institute of Architects has recently commented on the American senate’s proposed stimulus cuts.
President, Marvin Malecha, FAIA of the institute said that retrofitting federal buildings will not only save energy and lower costs to taxpayers, it will immediately create tens of thousands of private sector jobs.
Malecha said, “The General Services Administration has identified more than 500 shovel-ready federal building projects that, if funded, could begin within 90 to 180 days. Cutting this funding will deprive thousands of hard working Americans in the design and construction trades the chance to get back to work at a time when these industries have all but collapsed. We call on Congress to reject this short-sighted and recovery-killing idea.”
