Capitol Hill Reception

AGC Townhouse

AGC of America’s Capitol Hill Legislative Office, located one block from the U.S. House of Representatives, is the closest trade association to Capitol Hill. The prominence of the AGC Townhouse at 53 D Street, SE has afforded the association a powerful reputation and furnishes AGC lobbyists and members unique access to elected officials. The historic 1890s building was fully renovated and remodeled in 2001 and became the home of AGC Government Affairs in 2002.

Today, the AGC Townhouse has become one of the most popular and valuable venues on Capitol Hill, hosting chapter visits, legislative fly–ins, coalition meetings and other events involving Washington’s decision-makers.

These funds stemming from the American Recovery Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, etc., have brought about a multitude of regulations that organizations need to navigate. Other notable acts and their requirements discussed will include Build America, Buy America Act and the Davis-Bacon Act.
