A slew of new projects and a prospective economic stimulus plan could help create more Nevada construction jobs.
It is expected the newly-elected administration will create a new economic stimulus plan, which would include federal money for public works projects. According to an article by the Las Vegas Sun, there are currently more than $1 billion in unfunded infrastructure projects throughout Nevada, and if those projects began to take shape, Nevada’s construction industry wounds could begin to heal.
The American Public Works Association recently completed a survey of 470 public officials, which found that 3,600 projects worth $15 billion nationwide are ready to start within 90 days. The association surveyed five city and county public works officials in Nevada and found that $297.5 million in unfunded projects are ready to begin, including a wastewater treatment upgrade, sewage lines and highway work. These projects could create 10,337 Nevada jobs.
