8(a) Certification for Construction Contractors

In recent news, President Trump has talked about a $2 Trillion Public Works Package for the federal government to restart the economy after the COV-19 Pandemic subsides. A lot of that money will be spent on bridges and roads, but some will be spent on Federal and DoD facilities. Therefore, we can expect a major boost in federal construction spending in the next six months, which should create a lot of opportunities for 8(a) certified firms.
