Top Executive in Construction Industry Calls for Implementation of Recent Study to Create Thousands of Jobs, Help State Economy

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:54:00 GMT

DETROIT, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A leader in the construction industry today called for the implementation by Governor Granholm and the Legislature of two reports which would create thousands of jobs and give the state's economy a badly needed infusion of billions of dollars in new revenue.
C. Levy Co. which for more than 90 years has been one of the state's top integrated construction materials companies, said that in the torrents of words written about Michigan's crisis-ridden economy, little has been said about a possible transfusion that could help alleviate the state's financial trauma.
He said the possible lifeline comes from of a study produced by a committee appointed by Gov. Granholm --the Transportation Funding Task Force (TF2) -- which in its recommendations pointed out that if the state were to invest $3 billion annually in its transportation infrastructure, that would create 126,000 jobs and yield $15-l8 billion in other economic benefits.
