ATLANTA—When it comes to high-value public sector projects, Atlanta is hitting on all cylinders. In 2014, the number of construction projects released for bid increased significantly.
Specifically, Atlanta saw almost 1,800 construction projects released for bid in 2014, with a total contract value of $4.47 billion, according to BidClerk, provider of construction project data and marketing tools for building product manufacturers, contractors, and distributors. That's a whopping 76% increase compared to 2013.
