National Development Initiative
America 275.
Rebuild America's industrial base.
Create 10 million jobs.
Every factory reopened, every skyline raised, every paycheck restored begins with people who decide to build. America 275 is that decision — a national movement mobilizing governments, companies, investors, universities, and communities around the industries, sites, capital, and careers America needs to compete again.

A country that can build has a future it controls.
For a generation, America let its industrial base thin out — factories closed, supply chains moved offshore, and whole regions were told the future would happen somewhere else. America 275 is the answer: a national decision to build again, on our own soil, at the scale the moment demands.
This isn't nostalgia — it's capacity. The power to make what we depend on, to withstand shocks, and to give every region a real shot at prosperity. Ten million jobs isn't a slogan. It's factories reopened, sites made ready, capital put to work, and paychecks restored in communities that were counting on them.
Capacity is power
A nation that can make what it needs sets its own terms — in supply chains, in security, and in prosperity.
Opportunity everywhere
Growth should reach every region and every ZIP code, not just a handful of coastal metros.
Something to build
The next generation deserves work worth doing — careers with a future, in industries that matter.
A nation that builds decides its own future.
The premise of America 275
The industries America needs to compete, build, and grow.
Across these systems, America 275 can support 50+ connected subsectors — suppliers, equipment, utilities, transport, materials, site development, and the capital projects that tie them together.
Ten million jobs, built bottom-up from real projects.
The goal isn't a headline — it's an allocation across the industry systems where America has the most ground to regain. Here is one illustrative way the ten million distributes.
Each anchor project supports a multiple of its direct jobs across suppliers, construction, and local services — the standard basis economic-development offices use to size regional impact. The same disciplined path our economic-development practice runs on every mandate.
Illustrative planning allocation, not a forecast. Actual outcomes depend on specific projects, siting, capital, and market conditions. Figures are directional and shown to illustrate scale.
We turn economic priority into sites, capital, and careers.
America 275 is built to move beyond discussion. Every job traces back to a project — and every project moves through the same disciplined path from priority to production.
Priority
A region names its economic priority — the industry, the site, the opportunity it wants to win.
Site
We make the ground ready: land, power, permits, and logistics aligned so a project can break ground.
Capital
We structure and align the investment behind projects that close — public priority meeting private capital.
Jobs
Projects rise. Careers, suppliers, tax base, and lasting capacity follow — and stay in the community.
We align projects to public programs — we don't replace them.
A generation of federal and state programs is pointed at exactly this work. America 275 connects real projects to the incentives, financing, and authorities already in place.
CHIPS & Science Act
Federal backing for semiconductor and advanced-manufacturing capacity.
Inflation Reduction Act
Incentives for clean energy, batteries, and critical minerals.
DOE Loan Programs Office
Debt for large-scale energy and industrial projects.
U.S. EDA
Regional economic-development planning and capacity grants.
New Markets Tax Credit
Capital into projects in low-income communities.
Opportunity Zones
Long-term equity into designated regions.
USDA Rural Development
Infrastructure and industrial siting across rural America.
State & local incentives
Site readiness, workforce grants, and tax abatements.
Program alignment is directional. Eligibility, availability, and terms depend on each project and are subject to program rules and funding cycles.

Frequently asked
What is America 275?
America 275 is a national economic development initiative focused on rebuilding America’s industrial base, expanding productive capacity, advancing development projects, and creating 10 million jobs through public-private coordination.
Why 10 million jobs?
The 10 million jobs target gives America 275 a clear national goal. It reflects the scale of opportunity across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, logistics, technology, workforce development, and regional economic growth.
How do you get to 10 million jobs?
The target is built bottom-up from real projects. Each anchor project supports a multiple of direct jobs across suppliers, construction, and local services — the standard basis economic-development offices use to size regional impact. The figures shown are an illustrative planning allocation, not a forecast.
What industries does America 275 support?
America 275 supports 12 core industry systems: manufacturing, critical minerals, energy, aerospace, defense, logistics, infrastructure, construction materials, technology, semiconductors, workforce, and regional development.
How does America 275 work with federal and state programs?
America 275 aligns projects to existing public programs rather than replacing them — including the CHIPS & Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the DOE Loan Programs Office, the EDA, New Markets Tax Credits, Opportunity Zones, and USDA Rural Development. Program eligibility depends on project specifics.
Who can get involved?
Governments, companies, investors, universities, workforce institutions, development authorities, infrastructure partners, manufacturers, suppliers, foundations, civic leaders, and regional organizations can all participate — at every level, from Advisory Board to Regional Champion.
