As associate director of forecasting at Dodge, she brings insights into sectors that are thriving as well as those showing steady momentum. So, are contractors and construction business owners confident? Not exactly. But they have grown accustomed to\u2014and perhaps more tolerant of\u2014the uncertainty surrounding the economy and trade policies. Projects are still moving forward, though Martin notes they\u2019re taking significantly longer to progress from planning to groundbreaking, a trend worth watching. Learn how the Dodge Momentum Index\u2014published each month in IEDA\u2019s Scoop newsletter\u2014can serve as a practical tool for independent dealers, along with other free data and trend reports available from Dodge. &amp;nbsp; Connect with Sarah: LinkedIn Dodge Construction Network Website &amp;nbsp; Connect with IEDA: Visit IEDA Group Website IEDA Events &amp;nbsp; Produced By: Social Chameleon ","author_name":"IEDA Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/iedagroup.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/38528100\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/194027200"}
