Well the new year is and all these budgets have been renewed with funds to proceed in 2013. Only hold up is disperssion, and approvals. It has been rumored that this year will be largest in 3 years, by the powers at large.  Hope they are right, with tight budgeting who knows. the south looks slow to start but should pick up from a snails pace. The Midwest is going to grow substantially very shortly, the West coast thing is steady with some drops in hiring. The government work load this year is enormous, Sandy work has yet to be let out but it is coming. time to go but will be back soon with goodnews i project. thanks all and come back!
