Stimulus Initiatives Stimulate CORT
June 12, 2009Berkshire Hathaway's CORT, Fairfax, Va., has seen rapid growth in demand for its rental services from federal agencies and contractors marshalling support for economic stimulus projects.
Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, billions of dollars in "shovel-ready" projects are planned in every state for infrastructure, energy, education, healthcare and technology. Most stimulus projects have a limited time horizon, making furniture rental an option that removes the burden of managing and storing furniture.
CORT says it has the nation's largest inventory of rental furnishings ready to be delivered from more than 70 distribution centers across the country, and that offices can be set up within three days.
In addition, CORT can help employees locate housing near the job site, provide orientation tours of the area, ship household goods needed for temporary assignments, and arrange for furniture rental and utility connections.
"As agencies and companies need to get to work quickly, many have turned to CORT to assist with office and residential furnishings," said Peggy Moore, CORT's senior government manager. "We have the industry's most comprehensive range of services to get people and companies mobilized quickly. CORT can deliver the furniture you need, when you need it. We also can help you plan the use of your office space. Just give us a floor plan, the projected headcount and budget, and we'll take care of the rest."
