And the Results from Last Months Poll Question...
Three areas of Virginia's economy are expected to have substantial growth in 2002. Which one ranks the highest?
The results:
Biotech 26.3%
Government Contracts 52.6 %
Internet 21.1%
In fact, government contracts is the correct answer. President Bush's FY 2003 budget announced on February 4 marks the biggest increase in defense spending in 20 years, promising a big boost in government contracts. Bush's budget also calls for $52 billion for Federal IT spending alone (up from $48 billion this year). Virginia is well poised to capture a nice portion of this federal largesse, since many government contractors are based in the Virginia area, close to the Federal government in Washington D.C. and The Pentagon, based in Arlington, Virginia.
