Advocacy
Keeping the commercial construction industry vibrant and healthy is a top priority of AGC of Northwest Ohio. We participate in many efforts and activities to support every aspect of our industry.
We influence legislative action on the local and state levels. We support candidates for local and state offices through our Political Action Committee. We help advance certain legal issues that will significantly impact our industry. We market the value of AGC membership to construction owners, architects and engineers, elected officials, state and local agencies, and the general business community.
