REED CONSTRUCTION DATA; Tough Times Unite Top Construction Economists

REED CONSTRUCTION DATA; Tough Times Unite Top Construction Economists
On April 16, expert economists from Reed Construction Data (www.reedconstructiondata.com/), the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America (www.agc.org/) and the American Institute of Architects (www.aia.org/) join forces to host A Stimulating Time for Construction? a complimentary webcast sponsored by Georgia-Pacific Dens (www.gpdens.com/) to address the pressing question: Will the Federal Economic Stimulus Package help the construction industry?
The webcast will follow chief economists Jim Haughey (Reed Construction Data), Ken Simonson (AGC of America) and Kermit Baker (American Institute of Architects) as they analyze the effects of a new administration and the impact of the Federal Economic Stimulus Package on the construction industry. Content includes a look at current construction activity and forecasts of residential and nonresidential construction activity including the institutional, commercial, industrial and heavy engineering sectors.
The construction industry faces a series of hurdles on the road to recovery, said Haughey. The Stimulus Package provides a temporary boost but it will take extensive effort in several areas to build a strong and sustainable recovery.
The webcast will be broadcast live starting at 2 p.m. (EDT). It is complimentary for all participants; pre-registration is required. Questions from the Internet audience will be accepted during the live webcast, which will also be archived for later viewing. AIA member architects are eligible to receive 1.5 AIA CEU credits for attending this webcast.
