American Infrastructure of Worcester, Pa., was the first firm to win a stimulus project in the state, but Mark Compton, director of government affairs at American Infrastructure, says there are “deep concerns” about the program going forward. Prior to the stimulus, the state announced the deferral of $1.1 billion in projects in MDOT’s six-year program and subsequent cuts have been made throughout the year.
In addition, the federal highway bill hasn’t been reauthorized, which Compton says makes it difficult for MDOT and its contractors to make long-term plans.
