Re: public works projects

There is a lot of talk up here about infrastructure funding. The
problem is that many of these projects take a few years to go from
concept to actual bidding. So the ones that are going to get funded
immediately are the ones that have been on the schedule already but have
been held up for lack of funds, environmental approval, planning
concerns, etc, The companies that will mainly benefit are the ones with
a proven track record. Some smaller scale projects may get an immediate
go-ahead such as playgrounds, parks, school maintenance, hospital
maintenance, Let's hope there is some way to fast-track some of the
projects such as highways, hospitals and bridges.
