Building a Better America

Americans overwhelmingly agree on the need to build more—whether it’s roads, bridges, or reliable energy infrastructure. Yet, progress is too often stalled by an outdated, inefficient permitting process. Building a Better America is committed to fixing that. By championing common-sense reforms to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), we aim to modernize how critical infrastructure projects are reviewed—so they can be delivered on time, on budget, and with responsible environmental stewardship.

In 2019, BBA mobilized over 510,000 public comments to the Council on Environmental Quality and launched six targeted advocacy campaigns to rally support from key stakeholders, including unions, farmers, and construction workers. Today, we continue that work by building on strong public momentum to cut red tape and unlock the infrastructure investments America needs.

BBA hosted panel discussions in Youngstown, Ohio, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, bringing together bipartisan leaders, labor representatives, and industry experts to address the urgent need for permitting reform. These events underscore our commitment to engaging communities across the nation in the pursuit of efficient and effective infrastructure development.
