New Stimulus Money Available

We’ve all heard the news about government stimulus money funneling into the economy for growth and improvement projects—well, it’s official that these funds are being distributed to different parts of the country! Recovery.gov is the government website devoted to updates and accountability relating to allocation of these funds; they are distributing press releases almost daily focusing on which states and departments/organizations have received money being released by the Government Recovery Act program.

Now is the time to talk with your clients about upcoming work resulting from stimulus funds. Specifically, contact any contractor clients who may be in the position to secure projects relating to improving city infrastructure, new construction, and energy or green initiatives. These companies are typically great candidates for PartnerOne CPL Plus coverage, a combined Pollution/Professional Liability form that provides coverage to general contractors, construction managers, and various trade contractors.

This will give us the ability to provide more focused attention to service-specific items, including: mid-term changes, notices of cancellations (NOC), rescission letters, endorsements, audits, premium finance agreements, certificates, and other general servicing issues.
