Yep construction is a bad place to be, usually it goes year round here. but the economy killed it

Even the casinos stopped their work right now... normally they're the two guaranteed things in this area. Mohegan Sun stopped their 800 million dollar hotel until they can get 6 months of positive revenue. It's pretty scary actually. I worked on the road expansions for the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos.

When the casinos shut down work that they've already started and the state isn't putting any decent projects to bid you know somethings wrong. I've thought about moving west where you can work year round, but it doesn't look like it matters too much these days lol
