U.S. Northeast to See More Than $8 Billion in Project Kickoffs in Second-Quarter 2016, Fueled by Region’s Natural Gas, an Industrial Info News Alert

SUGAR LAND, TX–(Marketwired – Mar 7, 2016) – Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) — The U.S. Northeast region is looking at its highest total investment value (TIV) for quarterly kickoffs since at least 2014, with more than 200 projects worth $8.25 billion set to begin construction from April through June, according to Industrial Info’s project database. Natural gas-related projects are driving much of the growth — not surprising, given the generous resources found in the Marcellus and Utica shales. More than 80% of the TIV can be attributed to just four industries: Power, Oil & Gas Pipelines, Industrial Manufacturing, and Pharmaceutical & Biotech.
