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.

Today, many questions are still in play about how the Trump administration’s efforts toward a federal funding freeze have or could affect everyone, including landscape architects in public and private practice. ASLA has been following the situation closely and gathering feedback from effected members.
