That is great to hear! Just like here in Dayton, Wright-Patterson airforce base is expaning by leaps and bounds, and hundreds of new jobs keep getting added.

I have seen pictures of Salt Lake, construction cranes everywhere. Talk about an underrated region of the country.

It is great news. Columbus was voted #6 in the country for job growth for 2010. Companies like AFLAC, Synovus, TSYS, Carmike Cinemas, Char-broil, and Fort Benning call Columbus home. Good things are happening here. Glad to hear the Dayton area is doing well with its base expansion.

I think Columbus, GA gets overlooked a lot because of Atlanta. I really thought your downtown was nice. Lots of things were starting to change last I was there about a year and a half ago.

I moved to Dayton about three years ago. I work for Caresource. They just built a new midrise office building in downtown Dayton, and the medical field is really starting to take off here. They are building a huge new hospital about a mile from downtown. Dayton, just like Columbus, GA is getting recognition too. We were just recently named "Best Midsized Metro area for business expansion."

Orlando is in the process of building a medical city/district (two hospitals, a medical school, research institutes, a commercial area, and more) A lot of road projects are going on, a new world class arena is getting built, a new preformony arts center will break ground in a few months, a new office building is u/c downtown, several new restaurants are u/c. Theme park expansions are u/c (wizarding world of harry potter. New urban apartments are under construction, New subsivisons that were not completed due to the housing crash are beggining to pick up construction, a new sherrifs office is u/c and that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

It still does? I was under the impression that aside from some projects that started a few years ago and are wrapping up or others that have halted construction - the highrise construction activity in Miami in 2010 has basically shut off (as in most of the country).

I'm guessing the largest single construction project in Atlanta right now would be the new International terminal at the Airport, a $1.2 billion job.

Let's see, NYC has one of the biggest construction sites going on in the world right now: the Freedom tower. And I'm lucky enough to see its progress often, and can someday tell my future children I saw it get built.

^All of the delays and lawsuits between Silverstein and the Port Authority notwithstanding, the name is now 1 World Trade Center. The Freedom Tower name has been replaced.
