California has had some tight times. But the news is good for the construction industry. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has given about hundreds of millions to construction projects in California alone. This will create about 11,000 construction jobs.
CalTrans reported that they will spend the first wave of funds, $625 million, on 57 highway projects. Merced County will spend $46.7 million to replace bridges, which will create over 800 jobs.

Can You Receive Work for the Stimulus Package?
Since the signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, there have been great opportunities to expand your business. The government infusing the market will affect many types of businesses – from construction firms to green equipment manufacturers to software companies. Whatever touches the sectors targeted by the ARRA, namely, hospitals, software companies, manufacturers, construction companies, green energy, education centers, local/state governments, and more, will have a new unique way to grow.
Re-evaluate your business to see how you can key in on some of the promoted industries. Can you play a part in green technologies? Can you help to install electronic medical record software?

PR: New Website Helps Small Business Utilize the Economic Stimulus Package
On February 17, 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 was signed into law which should lead to stabilization and economic improvement. There are numerous pronounced benefits for businesses – specifically geared toward the small to medium sized companies- that have the ability to jumpstart the economy both locally as well as nationally. First Star Capital, a commercial equipment lender, has responded by launching a new website www.economicstimulusinfo.com in an effort to keep these businesses updated on how the stimulus package can benefit them.
This comprehensive site contains details of the Section 179 tax deduction as well as news and links to other informational web sites. While the ARRA has a particular focus on creating jobs in the green energy, highway, and school building sectors, there are several other industries that stand to benefit significantly from the economic stimulus act. Industries such as electronic medical records, utilities and all types of professional services such as engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, regulators and administrators will experience heightened demand and be positioned for job growth and greater economic prosperity.
Although nearly two-thirds of the $787 billion economic recovery plan is geared toward government based initiatives to create jobs and spark activity in stalled sectors of the economy, about one-third provides tax relief and investment incentives for small to medium sized businesses. Small and medium sized businesses have always been catalysts of economic growth and employment.
“We wanted to develop a site where our customers can obtain current and accurate information on how they can use the stimulus package to help their own business. You don’t have to be a huge corporation like GM or AIG to reap some of the benefits. Our goal is to do our part in generating confidence and turning the economy around for the better”, says First Star Capital president Brad Harmon. “The answer lies in helping small businesses move forward, retain their employees, and stay competitive. Small and medium sized businesses (those with less than 500 employees) make up roughly 99% of US companies. These are the folks that are most likely to be drivers of economic improvement”.
