The onshoring trend continues to make a substantial impact on total construction starts, according to Dodge.
Three large manufacturing plants and two multi-billion-dollar LNG export facilities largely accounted for the 48% gain in total construction starts.
The three manufacturing projects are the $10 billion Intel Semiconductor plant in Jersey Township, Ohio, the $2.9 billion BlueOval SK Battery Park Ford plant in Glendale, Kentucky and the $2.8 billion BlueOval City manufacturing campus in Stanton, Tennessee.
