With voter approval of nearly all bond finance issues on ballots earlier this month, construction is poisted to start on hundreds of millions worth of projects in water, education, health-care, transportation, entertainment and other sectors.
U.S. voters showed support for transportation improvements, approving 67% of initiatives that will add about $21 billion to project funds, says the American Road & Transportation Builders Association.The figure is slightly better than the 61% bond approval during the last mid-term election in 2010.
