The Time for Wishing Is Over And Performance Starts
Some construction leaders may be disappointed because they did not get everything they wished for in the massive $787-billion economic-stimulus legislation signed into law by President Barack Obama on Feb. 17, but they should be looking at a glass half full instead of one half empty. The law contains $130 billion of funding for construction of all types, which represents a serious increase over normal appropriations.
In some markets, this would be like receiving a compensation bonus equivalent to five times one’s normal salary.
