The Inventory lists construction projects in Alberta valued at $5.0 million or greater that are planned, underway, or have recently been completed. This edition also identifies projects that have been put on hold or deferred due to the economic downturn. Project data is obtained from public and private information sources. Where possible, this data has been verified with the project proponent/developer. However, users of the Inventory may wish to confirm project data with the proponent/developer. While efforts have been made to obtain the most recent information, it should be noted that projects are constantly being re-evaluated by industry. Although the Inventory attempts to be as comprehensive as possible, some information may not be available at the time of printing, or not published due to reasons of confidentiality. The Inventory can be accessed on the Internet at www.albertacanada.com/about-alberta/inventory-of- major-projects.html. New projects and (where possible) updated information on current projects is added to the Internet database on a monthly basis. The print edition of the report is produced quarterly. Projects added to the Inventory between January 1 and March 31, 2011 are noted in upper case in the Project Description column.
