Two years after Congress approved<br />
investing over $785<br />
billion into a sputtering<br />
economy, Americans and<br />
businesses alike are re-emerging<br />
from the recession.<br />

Billions for<br />

Infrastructure was the<br />
main priority behind Obama’s<br />
federal stimulus package. The federal<br />
cash was intended to “create<br />
millions of jobs by making the single<br />
largest new investment in our national<br />
infrastructure since the creation<br />
of the federal highway system<br />
in the 1950s.” Over $100 billion was<br />
set aside for federal infrastructure<br />
projects in 2009 -- the creation of<br />
factories, hospitals, schools and<br />
roads, among other projects -- providing<br />
new opportunities for many<br />
construction contractors.<br />
It has been estimated that<br />
around 70 to 80 percent<br />
of the money intended for in-<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> companies like Iron Eagle<br />
are utilizing federal funds to jumpstart the<br />
economy.<br />
