The Acceleration Zone Compact
A first-in-a-generation interstate pact that empowers states to slash red tape, attract capital, and reignite American industry—without waiting on Washington gridlock.
What is an Interstate Compact?
Interstate Compacts are the same tool that lets you drive across state lines with one license and ensures the Colorado River reaches California can now unlock American industrial renewal.
How? The Constitution explicitly empowers states to form binding agreements that, with Congressional approval, override conflicting federal and state laws. It's how we've solved interstate challenges for over 200 years, for everything from transportation to emergency response. The Acceleration Zone Compact simply applies this proven mechanism to our building crisis: creating zones where America can build at the speed of business, not bureaucracy.
How the Compact Ignites Growth
States Lead
State legislatures pass the AZC just like any other bill. No constitutional conventions. No federal mandates. 12 states are already drafting legislation for 2025.
Congress Enables
Congress votes to grant federal consent to the compact, enabling federal regulatory reforms that unleash American dynamism.
Communities Build
From governor's signature to groundbreaking in months, not years. Local communities and greenfield developers apply to create zones. Private operators bring the capital. A new semiconductor fab, biotech campus, or affordable housing district rises where empty fields or abandoned factories once stood.
Why Acceleration Zones?
A new engine of broad-based prosperity—built on competition, choice, and community self-determination.
High-Wage Jobs Near Home
The average manufacturing job pays $88,000/year. Acceleration Zones will bring thousands of these jobs back to American towns. Your kids can build careers without leaving their communities.
Startup-Speed Government
In Estonia, it takes less than five minutes to pay your taxes. In most of America, it takes days or weeks and an accountant. Acceleration Zones will bring speed and transparency to governance with every permit digitized, every rule transparent, every fee predictable.
15% Flat Tax
A simple, globally competitive rate for both people and companies drives retention of talent and reinvestment of profits.
Regulatory Reset
Obsolete rules are cleared away, replaced by modern standards benchmarked to best-in-class global practice.
Community Choice
Zones are opt-in and locally governed—citizens decide whether, where, and how much change they want.
Made-in-America Supply Chains
Near-shored production strengthens national security and lowers emissions by shortening logistics routes.
