“Our plan room activity in 2011 reflected the overall commercial construction industry in 2011, which faced a slight decrease in activity from 2010,” Chad Harvey, secretary to the MABX Board of Directors said.

 

According to Mays, the project information team reported 5,198 civic projects in 2011, the most of any project type. Other 2011 highlights include: 2,527 educational projects, 1,351 roadwork projects, 959 department of transportation projects, 659 waste, water and power plant projects, and 576 sewer and water lines.

 

MABX gathers comprehensive construction project information from sources in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Northern Maryland. Although the MABX staff actively pursues project information on a daily basis, not all commercial construction projects in the region are provided to MABX.
