This is from Steny Hoyer's website:

College of Southern Maryland, Partnership for the Advancement of Construction & Transportation Training - $300,000to enhance and provide an array of courses and programs that meet the growing demand for construction and transportation workers in Southern Maryland. Southern Maryland is the fastest growing region in the state and is projected to grow by 33 percent by 2015. The tremendous growth in the residential and commercial building industries has resulted in an urgent workforce need. The workforce shortage in both the construction and transportation industries is reaching a critical point for employers in Southern Maryland, who depend on the College of Southern Maryland to attract and train workers throughout the region.
