Stimulus One Year Anniversary

President Obama marked the one year anniversary of the signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Wednesday with AGC member Chuck Niederriter (Golden Triangle Construction, Imperial, Pa.) by his side. Thanks to the stimulus, Golden Triangle is hiring more than 100 employees this spring and will order new equipment, creating more jobs. The administration came to AGC for a construction contractor who has benefited from the stimulus to be a part of today's White House event. During his remarks, President Obama announced, "If you don't think the stimulus is working, talk to Chuck." Watch part of the event here, or read Bloomberg's coverage. Obama and Biden's remarks are available here. Niederriter, president of Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania, participated in AGC's media conference call to announce anew analysis of stimulus data that shows the program is delivering more jobs than initially estimated.
