"Contrary to the current down-trending economic news, business activity has not slowed for the industrial construction industry. In fact, 2008 is exceeding 2007, a banner year, which saw grassroot plant construction in the U.S. grow from $60 billion in 2006 to $88 billion in 2007. Since 2006, grassroot industrial plant construction activity has doubled in 2008 up to $181 billion."
