The New Jersey site-work pipeline is unusually early-stage: 668 of 1008 active projects (66%) have not reached a bid board yet. Demand here is fragmented. 559 public buyers across 21 counties account for the 1022 tracked projects, and the largest of them (Millburn, NJ) carries just 12. Municipal governments drive 68% of the volume, ahead of school districts at 6%. Within the pre-bid pipeline, 206 projects are already funded right now, which is typically when owners pick design partners and lock program scope.

Those show up first in funding approvals, capital plans, board minutes, and design contracts.
