AAED is committed to continued job creation and investment in American communities through the EB-5 program.

A competitive economy

is a strong economy.

EB-5 immigrants have invested at least $20 billion in the U.S. economy since 2008. 

Created over 174,000 jobs, which equates to approximately 16 jobs per investor.

EB-5 investors are currently facing a decades long backlog putting the continuation of the program at risk.

The Flats East Bank Project was one of the first new, large­-scale commercial developments in the City of Cleveland in over a decade, and its construction helped to jump start Cleveland's renaissance. A key portion of the funding came from Cleveland International Fund and the EB-5 Program - without which the Project would have never been successful.
