Contractors, If We Want Change, We Need to Show Up and Vote

Tuesday is Primary Election Day, and we're asking every contractor, supplier, truck driver, estimator, superintendent, and construction professional in Vermont to take a few minutes and vote.

Why?

Because the people elected this year will help determine what happens with housing, permitting, workforce development, transportation funding, environmental regulations, energy costs, and just about every issue that affects our ability to build in Vermont.

Ben Can't Stop

Nothing inspires a Toolbox Talk on brake safety quite like Ben showing up with bad breaks.

With Brake Safety Week coming August 23-29, Ben and Richard talk stopping distance, brake inspections, pre-and post-trip checks, and the importance of catching a problem before you hit the road.

Who's going to know what you know when you're not there?

Week 4 of the AGC/VT Leadership Academy focuses on preparing the next generation to take on more responsibility.
