The State Department of Transportation will soon be putting recovery funds to work in Brunswick County. A $6.3 million contract was awarded to ST Wooten Corporation of Wilson to extend Smith Avenue in Shallotte from west of Highway 17 Business. The extension will cross Edgewater Drive and tie in with Highway 130 near Saint Mary's Street. Work is scheduled to begin as early as April 27th, with completion no later than December 31, 2010.

just like outsourcing

The job at smith ave. was awarded to ST wooten, a company that was aquired by a german firm last year. They may be based in wilson, but I think that the stimulus money that's paying for this project will wind up somewhere other than the state and country it's meant to help. It is a very competitive market right now. Everyone is bidding to get work, and that's what business is all about. However, when it comes to money dealt out by the U.S government to stimulate the economy, make sure it's our economy it's going to. There are plenty of North Carolina owned businesses, that would ensure all the money stays here.
