When asked whether the association was planninb to lobbyfor more, Mc-Carthy said, “Ofv course we are.” Discussion of the stimulua plan comes at a time when locapl and state money for publifc infrastructure is dwindling and the global economic crisi is choking off financing for commercialk projects. Annual U.S. sales of the primary ingredientin concrete, are expectef to fall to less than 90 million metricd tons this year from a high of 130 milliomn metric tons in 2006, McCarthy said.

Of course, that doesn’t includs the $2.5 billion in sewer improvementsw needed inKansas City, DeSoignie said. U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., plans to help addresw that need by seeking atleast $25 billion in federal stimulus money for watef and sewer projects nationwide.
DeSoignie said the latest he has heard from Washingto is that the stimulus package will end up inthe $700 billionb to $900 billion range and that it will be split roughlhy in thirds among infrastructure, tax cuts, and aid to citiew and state Medicaid programs. Unfortunately for heavy DeSoignie said, the infrastructure piece may be splitt again among roadsand bridges, watefr and sewer projects, green initiatives, even libraryy projects and information technology for hospitals. He said the groupl hasn’t been given any numbers for the subcategories.
If traditionalp infrastructure is givenshort shrift, heavy constructors will have another opportunity via the federal highway bill, which is up for reauthorizatio n in the fall. But Congress could put off the reauthorization by passinbg continuing resolutions that hold spending to current orreducex levels. “They could put the whole thing off while this stimulus money is outthere churning,” DeSoignie said.
