What does a "post-construction" Southwest look like?

For years, economic growth in the Southwest was driven by the construction industry. As the country's economic downturn drags on, many wonder whether construction can lead our region's recovery. Fronteras is asking you: what does a "post-construction" Southwest look like? What's the next industry or industries that will create jobs and boost the economy?

Everything you share will be read by journalists only, and your responses are confidential unless you tell us we may publish them. If you have any questions about this project, contact Nick Blumberg.
