May | June 2009
Dear Reader,

In this issue, CEFGA reports on their April Construction Education Foundation Exposition at the International Congress Center. It was a huge success. High school students are still very interested in joining the construction industry and are positioning themselves for on-the-job training in anticipation of construction activity in Georgia coming back strong. The SkillsUSA competitions were outstanding, with Georgia set to be well represented at the National competitions later in June.

There are quite a few important construction projects going on: 1) Plant Vogtle, near Savannah, 2) the new $1 billion Volkswagen assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which is under construction and will be giving an economic boost to the entire region of Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama, and 3) the Kia plant under construction south of Columbus. We have also received news that NCR will be moving their headquarters to Duluth from Dayton, Ohio, and bringing over a 1,000 new jobs into the Atlanta area.

Clearly, these are important signs of confidence in the future of our region and they are welcome. So our task is to ride out this difficult period, come up with creative ways of sustaining our operations, seek new customers, and create new opportunities that we may not have dreamed of in other, less demanding times.
