NPA Extends Control Over Building Projects
The NPA expands controls to require consent for building projects using more than 25 tons of steel and to curb elaborate outdoor ads. The order targets factories schools hospitals churches and other facilities not previously under NPA rules. It lets NPA select defense relevant projects while forcing smaller plans to scale back or use less steel. The policy also limits luxury homes above 35000 and does not halt ongoing work. The Associated Contractors of America warns of harm to the construction industry and civilian activities.
