A Powerful Voice in Government
At Alabama AGC, governmental affairs play a large role in the service we provide to our members. We believe working with elected officials on industry issues is the key to success for the future of construction. Our members benefit from Alabama AGC’s active participation in the legislative process at the local, state and federal levels affecting economic and infrastructure development. Alabama AGC originates and coordinates support for bills favorable to the industry, while also opposing unfavorable legislation. During the legislative session, weekly updates on current legislation are sent to members through email alerts and updates to our website. As the trusted voice of the construction industry in Alabama, look for another banner year for Alabama AGC in the state legislature in Montgomery.




“The state PAC is a great help to me in the legislature, and being able to help candidates when they are running for office is a great tool for us. In addition, our grassroots efforts and being able to mobilize AGC’s members is a critical element to our success.”
