Stimulus Stimulated Pennsylvania Business

Alan Levin of Northeast Building Products was skeptical of the President's stimulus plan until he had to take his factory to 24/7, adding two shifts and almost doubling his workforce.

And, before he was written-up in his local paper, interviewed by CNN and ABC, profiled on Bloomberg, mentioned in the President's State of the Union, blogged about by a member of the Vice President's staff, held-up as an example by the Secretary of Commerce at a European conference and his company was called "the best example in the country of what the economic recovery act has done in getting the economy back on track" by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Needless to say, he and his employees have had a pretty good year.
