RALEIGH, N.C. — FMI Corporation announces the release of its latest whitepaper, “The Federal Construction Sector: Understanding a Transforming Market.” Given the rapid transformations occurring in the federal construction sector, FMI examines the key forces accelerating these changes, as well as the effect on the industry.

Highlighted topics include :

• The increase in small business initiatives

Jackie Robinson-Burnette, associate director of the Office of Small Business, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, states: “In my 30 years of contract experience with the federal government, I have never witnessed such an emphasis and focus on promoting small business.
