Misguided tax rules threaten engineering and innovation

From clean air and water to safe roads and bridges, engineering and design firms across the United States spearhead the creation of cutting-edge technologies that enhance and advance our future. 

As the president and CEO of DJ&A, P.C., headquartered here in Missoula, we are proud of the work we do in civil and environmental engineering to help support communities throughout Montana and beyond.

 To continue to meet unprecedented challenges with novel solutions, it’s critical that engineering companies like ours engage in research and development (R&D) to find innovative ways to approach problems old and new. However, a recent change to our tax code is stifling this commitment to R&D and threatening the industry’s collective development to the detriment of our communities.
