Energy, Refining and Pipeline Construction Projects Push Wisconsin Industrial Development to $14.6 Billion

SUGAR LAND--May 16, 2008--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With 167 projects totaling more than $14.6 billion, Wisconsin may surprise some as being one of the top states for industrial project development in 2008. Petroleum Refining, Power, Oil & Gas Transmission, Alternative Fuels, Industrial Manufacturing and Pharma & Biotech are a few of the industries experiencing a high level of development this year in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's geographic position between Alberta's rich oil sands and midwestern U.S. consumption markets makes it a key pipeline and terminal infrastructure hub connecting the two markets.
