A double-digit percentage decline in the value of new April contracts wasn�t enough to diminish the overall start to 2010 that North Carolina has experienced in the first third of the year.
According to McGraw-Hill Construction, publisher of Southeast Construction, the overall value of new North Carolina construction contracts signed in April for future construction fell by 17%, compared to the same period of a year ago. Even so, North Carolina�s contracts total remains 30% ahead for the year-to-date.
