Most of the Southeast has gotten off to a slow start in 2011. Are the region's contractors going to suffer yet another year of declining construction opportunities?
Plagued by financial difficulties, Orlando’s $383 million Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts moved a step closer to breaking ground with the selection committee of the recently formed Orlando Community Construction Corp. choosing PCL Construction Services as owner’s representative.
ENR Southeast's first-ever selection of a "Design Firm of the Year" has gone to Perkins+Will. The firm, with regional offices in Atlanta, registered more than $52 million in 2010 Southeast revenue, up from the previous year's total of nearly $47 million.
This year, economists once again (mostly) forecast a rebound for the Southeast construction economy. But the latest downbeat numbers raised some questions, like: Will it really happen? And how many workers has the industry probably lost for good?
Readers of ENR Southeast had many interesting comments about the recent discovery and arrest of six illegal workers at a federal construction site in Orlando.
From illegal workers hidden at the region’s largest federal project, to the new mayor of Orange County making waves about the proposed Performing Arts Center and the planned Wekiva Parkway projects, to Gov. Rick Scott rejecting $2.4 billion in high-speed rail funds, February has been an interesting month for Orlando's construction sector.
