AGC Makes Additional Updates to Stimulus Web Site

AGC continues to update its stimulus Web site to provide comprehensive information on the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and the impact on the construction industry. Included on the site is a breakdown of construction spending by program, with additional details on allocations. The site also includes analysis of the various tax provisions within the legislation that affect the construction industry and an overview of some of the policy implications of the legislation.  AGC has posted information on the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Council's recently-releases reporting requirements for contractors and procurement officials disbursing stimulus funds. AGC encourages individuals to view the information and participate in the public comment period by June 1. The intent of the site is to provide members, and more broadly the construction community, the widest possible range of current information about the stimulus. AGC also aims to highlight the stimulus funds at work and AGC members hiring employees based on stimulus awards. The section, "Stimulus At Work" highlights the work our members are doing to help ensure the success of the stimulus package.
