Stimulus Boosts Major Project Spending in 2010

Current year spending on major projects in Atlantic Canada is up about 13% in 2010 largely due to public stimulus, according to APEC's 27th annual Major Projects Inventory. But what happens to private spending in the region as the stimulus funding begins to wind down in 2011 remains a key question. The 2010 Inventory tracks 343 of the region's largest investment projects valued at $72 billion and was released with APEC’s latest Atlantic Report.
