The National Apartment Association announced a national grassroots campaign to advocate for a tax policy that promotes economic growth, job creation, and investment in neighborhoods and communities.  “When Congress last overhauled the tax code in 1986 it had a negative ripple effect across our industry,” noted NAA President & CEO Robert Pinnegar, CAE. “We learned from that experience, and we want to make sure any changes to the tax code enable investment, minimize risk, encourage entrepreneurship, protect and create jobs and foster the development of affordable, livable communities. It should not unfairly burden apartment housing owners, operators and developers who pay taxes when they build, operate, sell or transfer communities.”
