| With help from Carpenters Local 792, the city of Rockford, IL is turning around its economy, creating new jobs and benefiting thousands of customers through solar power. This unique “community solar” development on 35 acres is saving Rockford’s low-income residents as much as $500 a year on their electric bills. | Union Carpenters working for E.L. Crawford Construction are building a new Nodaway Valley Bank in Smithville, MO. Our members are taking care of finish and trim carpentry as well as the exterior siding. Signatory contractors JD Bishop Construction and DCM Contractors have also been on site working on the concrete and drywall respectively. | Nationally ranked Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis is getting a new home. The 14-story tower built by McCarthy will have 400 construction workers on site at peak construction, many of them union carpenters. We caught up with these members hard at work and moving fast for the 2027 grand opening. (Trivia: Built in 1956, Cardinal Glennon was America’s first not-for-profit Catholic hospital specifically for children.) | | Study: America's Construction Needs Are Greatly Underfunded | | MACRC Stands Up for Working Families at Homewood Public Hearing | | Field Trip: Northern Star Homes and Cheltenham Construction Services graciously opened their job sites in Washington, MO for PATTS apprentices, getting to see a day in the life of residential carpenters.
