The Real Estate Roundtable Praises

    -

    Today, Real Estate Roundtable President and CEO, Jeffrey D. DeBoer issued the following statement regarding the President’s signing of the economic stimulus bill

    (WASHINGTON, D.C.) — “We applaud President Bush’s leadership and the swift bipartisan Congressional action to enact this important economic stimulus package. This legislation will spur consumer spending, provide additional refinancing options to homeowners, boost confidence and encourage businesses to accelerate investments. Clearly, national policymakers are working hard to ensure that a recession can be avoided and this robust pro-growth legislation is the right tonic for today’s economic slowdown. We congratulate Congress and the Administration for acting quickly and we stand ready to help identify additional appropriate measures should they be needed.”
