The fig= ures show that the stimulus has gone from slowing declines in construction = spending to contributing to increases, the association noted. "If it weren'= t for public investments in infrastructure and construction, this industry = would be in free fall," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economis= t. "Fortunately, the stimulus is now helping rebuild a construction industr= y devastated by relentless declines in private-sector activity." =09 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- GDP Is Up for Third Straight Quarter, but Construction Still Suffers http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj4t-ba7oF2dyUqVaTjFAc Nonresidential fixed investment grew 4.1% on a seasonally adjusted annual r= ate basis in the first quarter of 2010 following revised 5.3% growth in the= fourth quarter of 2009, according to the U.S Commerce Department's April 3= 0 gross domestic product (GDP) report. "The GDP release is a bit of a disap= pointment," said Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Chief Economist = Anirban Basu. "=E2=80=A6Though the U.S. economy is out of recession, nonres= idential building construction is not. =E2=80=A6 There is little demand for= new construction. Moreover, the financial crisis that deepened in Septembe= r 2008 continues to have a lingering effect in the form of a still tight cr= edit market. A rebound in commercial and other forms of nonresidential cons= truction is not anticipated anytime soon." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- When Construction is Halted, Pollution Builds Up http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj4t-ba7oF2dyUrbaTjFAc The housing bust that has marked the nation's landscape with half-built con= struction projects has done more than crash home values. Officials and envi= ronmentalists say abandoned developments are polluting nearby waterways wit= h sediment, endangering fish and plant life, and flooding areas where the s= ilt has built up. In April, the Environmental Protection Agency settled wit= h one of the nation's largest home builders for sediment runoff at almost 6= 00 sites in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Hovnanian Enterprises a= greed to pay $1 million and take steps to prevent runoff. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- =09 Recycling Plant to Turn Construction Waste into Fuel http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj4t-ba7oF2dyUrcaTjFAc Hamilton, Ontario, is about to get a construction-waste processing plant it= s builders say will recycle up to 96% of the wood, plastic and metal receiv= ed. Countrywide Recycling Inc. says it will be the first of its kind in Ont= ario that will turn waste wood into either furnace pellets or boiler fuel. = "In all areas, recycling is growing, and there is an opportunity and probab= ly is a need for more construction and demolition waste recycling," says On= tario Waste Management Association (OWMA) President Rob Cook. "There is an = opportunity to get more of that material out of the waste stream, subject t= o economics, because it normally costs more to recycle than landfill." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- Stalled State Road Funds Take Detour to Court http://news.cygnusb2bmail.com/portal/wts/cemcixuj4t-ba7oF2dyUrdaTjFAc New York highway and construction contractors claim the governor is holding= more than $1 billion in highway and other infrastructure projects hostage = in a lawsuit designed to free the funds and put people to work. "This may b= e a first," said former Lt. Gov. Al DelBello, who was representing the trad= e group Associated General Contractors in its lawsuit against the state, wh= ich named Acting Transportation Commissioner Stanley Gee. The state has cre= ated an "anticipatory breach of contract," with contractors who have alread= y started repair and road building jobs but haven't been paid, DelBello arg= ued in state Supreme Court in Albany. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- =09 Quote for the Day You have to learn the rules of the game.
