My comments at that time were based upon some projects that were coming forward that, when you read the projects and read the proposals and the staff reports, it made you wonder who was driving the long-range planning, ... Were we waiting for developers to come forward with a plan or were we stepping forward with a vision of our own?

That's pretty much the way we see developing projects for MTV going forward.

There were two different contractors, two different projects and they bid different prices to do the same amount of work.

We specialize in low-income housing projects. We have similar housing projects all over Indiana, and one in Columbus, Ohio.

That million dollars would affect a number of smaller projects. It's time to get our heads together, find solutions and lead our way out of it.

Under these agreements projects are built on time and under budget. That is why they have been used to build major public works projects like the Hiawatha Light Rail Line, the Minnesota Department of Revenue Building and the Orville L. Freeman Office Building. All contractors have the opportunity to work under a project labor agreement, union and non-union alike.
