 Visitors to www.reedconstructiondata.com/fsp can register and download Federal Stimulus Project reports divided by region: northeast, southeast, central and west. Listed project information includes title, location, value, scope and notes.

 Reported projects were released as a part of the MainStreet Economic Recovery Plan in which The U.S. Conference of Mayors asked cities across the nation to report infrastructure projects that are “ready to go.” Projects are said to meet local infrastructure needs, contribute to local economic development goals and can be funded quickly through existing federal channels.

 These projects have not yet been validated by Reed Construction Data and may not proceed to funding. “The proposed economic stimulus package has the potential to drive a significant number of construction project opportunities in this very challenging economy,” said Rich Remington, Vice President of Product Development, Reed Construction Data. “Reed Construction Data is committed to getting this information into the hands of those in the construction industry as quickly as possible and to maintain the information on an on-going basis.

” Registrants will be notified when updates to Federal Stimulus Projects become available.

this is a great idea but as I argued with Kris, YOU JUST CANT take a man or woman off an assembly line or out of an office and stick them on heavy equipment! Operating Engineer IS a skilled trade and takes years to develop finesse to pull a grade or set a lift. Again great jobs and an interesting idea, but the skilled bodies are just not out there, they can't all lean on the shovel

  As bad as things are, and as high as unemployment is, plus I thought the construction industry was hit the hardest, so I thought that there would be plenty of skilled operators needing these jobs.

That isn't the case ?

 

we are a limited and finite number, the Alaska Pipeline, and the Rocky Express Pa extension are supposed to kick off next year as well as the Florida line following I 75. These are going to take a big chunk of Operators to man up, so, to answer you, many if not all of us have unemployment with sub pay or a lot of us have business' to fall back on.
