Great Lakes Region Begins 2010 with Healthy $10.7 Billion in First Quarter Spending

SUGAR LAND--October 27, 2009--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--For recovery to truly begin in the long-suffering Great Lakes, industry must begin spending capital in the region. This will create not only short-term construction jobs, but permanent jobs and supporting jobs in the communities where plants are located. Now that the recession is showing signs of easing, some of the much-needed spending is peeking out from behind the skirts of the corporate decision-makers; $10.7 billion worth of investment is heading to the Great Lakes region during the first quarter of 2010.
