focused on examining the current market conditions and detail of the U.S. construction outlook
for 2011.
The webcast will follow chief economists Jim Haughey, Ken Simonson and Kermit Baker as they
discuss and analyze:
o Will the end of harsh winter weather reverse the recent decline in construction
spending?
o Investors are again looking at commercial real estate lending. How long before
this restored access to capital results in higher construction starts?
o Will President Obama's call to abolish Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac help or hurt
housing in 2011?
o Will Congress approve President Obama's request for more federal
infrastructure spending?
o How much cost inflation will come with the construction spending recovery?
The webcast will be broadcast live starting at 2 p.m. (EST). Registration is complimentary for all
