🧵MUST READ: New report from @jpmorgan highlighting the benefits of #modularconstruction.

The repot outlines several important consideration. We are most excited to see guidance to state and local governments on what actions they can take to to boost market adoptions.

@jpmorgan 3. Build implementation capacity, workforce aptitude, and an evidence base for market adoption.

Invest in trained plan reviewers and inspectors, workforce development, and credible evidence on cost, speed, and quality to support market confidence and replication.

Attention: everyone in Harrisburg.

Stop voting to raise costs on Pennsylvania families.

Day 2: Pennsylvanians cannot afford Senate Bill 908 to pass the house.

Tell your Representative to vote NO on Senate Bill 908.

[AFP Pennsylvania @AFPPennsylvania]

Government shouldn't pick winners and losers.

Senate Bill 908 would give special treatment to large, unionized contractors and make it harder for smaller Pennsylvania businesses to compete for public projects.

Taxpayers deserve better.

🚨The #PASenate is going to vote on SB 908 today. This bill will destroy the #modular industry in PA.

We are urging the Pennsylvania Senate to oppose SB 908.

Prevailing wage mandates disproportionately burden smaller and nonunion contractors, limiting opportunities for businesses to compete on price, quality, and innovation.

Now is not the time to raise costs across Pennsylvania.

[Emily Brey @EmilyBrey]

‼️KEY VOTE ALERT‼️

Vote NO to making life more expensive for us taxpayers.

Vote no on SB 908.

[Modular Building Institute Policy @MBIPolicy]

PA SB 908 passed the Labor & Industry committee 11-0.

The bill will gut the modular industry's ability to serve the state's public works market just as the demand and need are at an all-time high.

[AFP Government Affairs @AFPGovAffairs]

Prevailing wage expansions mean higher costs, fewer competitors, and less value for taxpayers.

Kudos to @AFPPennsylvania for standing up for workers, taxpayers, and a more competitive construction market by opposing SB 908.

ICYMI From @FinancialCmte: MBI Statement Included In Support For Bipartisan Amendment to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: https://t.co/Y6WopvXBDj

Modular Building Institute said, “As the voice of the commercial modular construction industry, the Modular Building Institute has been following the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act since it was introduced, and we are pleased to offer our support for this landmark legislation. We believe the provisions related to the modular industry will protect consumers and provide avenues for the future study of the barriers to wider adoption of modular construction. America needs housing, and MBI’s members stand ready to build, and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will allow our members to build more housing than ever before.”

Modular Building Institute Applauds Recognition of Housing Innovation in @WhiteHouse @CEA47 Economic Report:

“Washington is clearly signaling that housing must be built with a more manufacturing-centric mindset,” said Tom Hardiman, Executive Director of the Modular Building Institute. “That’s exactly what modular construction delivers—speed, scale, and efficiency. This report is a strong validation of the approach our industry has been advancing.”

@JHWeissmann No, thank you.

[Buffy Wicks @BuffyWicks]

Big problems require creative solutions. And AB 2166 could be one of them. I am thrilled to be working with Assemblymember Carrillo on this idea as part of our broader Housing Innovation bill package.

What do you think of this idea? And what else should we be considering?

[Buffy Wicks @BuffyWicks]

After months of research, dozens of interviews, many tours, and two public hearings, I am so excited to announce the Housing Innovation bill package!
