Dear Mid-Atlantic construction industry leader:

I am very pleased to bring you Mid-Atlantic Construction, Mcgraw-Hill Construction's new regional bi-monthly magazine that will focus on your region. Our surveys show that in the construction industry, people are most interested in the people, projects, and market trends in their own back yard...We have created a magazine to bring you just that - information on people, projects, and market trends in Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Eastern Pennsylvania.

This first issue focuses on the Washington D.C. metro area and the top 10 government-owned projects.

Look for these upcoming issues:

• May 2004: Top Projects in Philadelphia
  
• July 2004: Top Design Firms
  
• September 2004: Top Contractors
  
• November 2004: Owner of the Year
  
• January 2005: Best Projects of 2004

Let us know what you think. Let us know YOUR news. You can e-mail me any time at heather_hatfield@mcgraw-hill.com.

I look forward to working with you to bring you news from your "back yard!"

Sincerely,

Heather Hatfield
Editor/Publisher
