Outlook

“Granite’s strategic growth plan is delivering strongly improved near-term results, while positioning our stakeholders to benefit from significant, long-term economic value creation,” said Roberts. “Significant voter support across the country for incremental infrastructure investment is spurring state and local governments and politicians to action. With more than 300 state and local measures on ballots on November 6, voters increasingly understand and support the sustained, increased infrastructure investments that are required to improve public safety, to create jobs, to drive economic expansion, and to improve Americans’ quality of life. For those of you in California, please vote No on Proposition 6 on Election Day.”
