Inauguration Day

The world is watching Washington DC today, and I've assigned a writer to attend an inauguration event co-ordinated by the Associated General Contractors of DC, as we review several applications for the opportunity to be the publisher of the revitalized Washington Construction News.

These are exciting times to be in or connected with Washington -- and the government funds may be the likeliest opportunities for work in states and communities across the U.S.

With expanded Washington coverage, we'll hopefully be able to help contractors and sub-trades (as well as architects and engineers) find some of this work, but ultimately, you will succeed most if you've built your own connections and relationships -- by the time opportunities become public, usually someone has an inside track.
