45 Percent of Government Officials Expect to Maintain or Increase Spending Activity in 2009, With the Focus on Construction of Roads and Bridges, Creation of 21st Century Schools and Modernization of Energy-Inefficient Government Facilities

SEATTLE, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- President-Elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus package outlines a significant increase in federal spending on "shovel-ready" construction of roads and bridges, 21st-century school projects, healthcare IT and modernization of energy-inefficient government facilities. In response, states and municipalities are prioritizing their initiatives based on the greatest short-term impact to their respective regions. This is according to a new report released today by Onvia (Nasdaq: ONVI), the leading provider of business-to-government solutions in the United States, covering the broadest set of industries and products at every level of government.
