Deep into the recession, Dave Martin still had plenty of work. His
company, Hall Brothers Electrical Contractor Inc., won four
subcontractor contracts working on expansion projects at Fort Lee.
The first contracts started in June 2007 and the firm at times employed as many as 100 people to handle the work.
It was stimulus for the region before stimulus became a widely known term.
"For us, in the construction industry, it's been a lifesaver," said Martin, a senior project manager for the Colonial Heights electrical contractor. "We had to hire. We had some of our best years we ever had."
and at the end of the 1,150-word piece --Martin, with Hall Brothers Electrical, says his firm, like many
others, is focused on future work.
Business was good until last fall when Fort Lee contracts started to dry up and increased competition - from firms as far away as Alaska - took a toll.
"It's going to be a tough year, but there's work out there," he said.
