ASLA’s new policy recommendations call for targeted tax changes to strengthen small firms, grow the workforce, and support community-focused design.

ASLA is calling on Congress to address delays caused by Executive Order 14154, which have stalled vital landscape architecture projects, disrupted small businesses, and prevented critical infrastructure investments from reaching communities.

ASLA is urging the GSA to reject restrictive design mandates and uphold policies that support innovation, sustainability, and community-driven federal architecture.

ASLA has been following the situation closely and gathering feedback from effected members. In response, ASLA has engaged with legal experts to create guidance on how landscape architects may proceed.

The full impact of this SCOTUS ruling is still unfolding, but its effects on environmental protections, student loans, and labor may have implications for landscape architects and their work.
