Elected leaders returning to Capitol Hill this week face several issues impacting the U.S. construction industry.
Liability reform, a new highway funding package and Payroll Protection Program forgiveness are all on lawmakers' to-do list.
“We have this kind of mix between what we want Congress to accomplish and what we expect Congress to accomplish,” said Brian Turmail, vice president of public affairs and strategic initiatives for AGC.
Turmail said he expects partisan compromise will be more challenging than ever because it is an election year.
