SUGAR LAND--September 2, 2015--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The New England region is expected to see a slight increase in its total investment value (TIV) for projects set to begin construction in fourth-quarter 2015. The TIV stands at $1.44 billion, heavily influenced by the dramatic growth in Pennsylvania's Marcellus and Utica shales, which provides the area with an inexpensive feedstock. More than 85% of the total can be attributed to three industries: Industrial Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical & Biotech and Power.
