INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING AT THE STATE LEVEL


State governments are requesting funding from the Federal Government for infrastructure construction projects.  These projects include focus on schools, city and state buildings, highways and bridges, energy and utilities, water and water management projects, and more.

This growing focus on the need to re-build and renovate presents an opportunity for companies to bid on new projects, participate in new markets, and gain market share within the construction, industrial, transportation, technology, energy and materials industries.   For instance, projects that meet the shovel ready standards for school construction and renovation total $6 - $8.5 Billion on a national basis. 

Requests for school construction and renovation funding on a regional basis:
Northeast $2 - $3 Billion
North Central $1 - $1.5 Billion
West $1 – $1.5 Billion
South $2 – $2.5 Billion

However, determining how this demand affects their business and where to focus sales efforts has presented a challenge for companies.  Cities and states are also feeling the pressure from the federal government in regards to the use of funds received to build innovative energy efficient buildings and infrastructures under certain budget constraints.
