Maryland governor Martin O'Malley is expected to propose spending more than $350 million on the construction of public schools throughout the state. According to the Washington Post, it would be the second-highest amount given to such a project in state history. O'Malley's proposition comes with the hope that it will spur job growth and help urge the state out of recession.
"We have a host of schools where people still don't have gyms, where they are sitting in closets, where they don't get fed until 2 o'clock in the afternoon because the cafeteria isn't big enough," Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner, a supporter of the proposition, told the news source.
Such an ambitious project requires the finest construction equipment. Those looking to shore up their fleets may find great items at lower prices by searching through IronPlanet's marketplace. Those items with IronClad Assurance are particularly worth checking out, as they have been personally inspected by a local representative. With 50 to 100 photographs available on these items, it's easy to see exactly what a piece of construction equipment looks like before committing to a bid.
