Slowly, but surely. That is how it is
looking with the stimulus funds that were meant to jumpstart the economy and
the construction industry.
Perhaps you’ve been driving down
the highway and saw some road construction. And at the beginning of the
construction site is a large green highway sign exclaiming that the project is
due in part to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. I’ve seen plenty of
them. That’s great, but what about mechanical construction projects?
Well,
there is at least one that we know of. If you receive the Snips
e-newsletter, you may have seen the news brief in our Sheet Metal in the News
section. A naval base in San Diego chose Souza
Construction in Farmersville,
Calif., to install rooftop units
at several navy and marine buildings. The contract is worth $1 million. The
work is expected to be completed in September 2010, according to theNavy
Compass, the navy newspaper in San Diego.
Are there any
other building projects that you know of that are being funded by stimulus
money? Come across any stories in your local newspaper? If you know any, or are
involved in any, let us know.
