Trade Talk
MACRC Director of Business Development Tony Janowski and union representatives recently attended MOSEIA's Missouri Solar Summit. This event provided a unique opportunity to connect with contractors and developers, discuss industry trends, and explore innovative solutions to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy sources. Our work with contracting partners in the solar industry continues to pay dividends.
| Union Carpenters are building a massive, new project for Kansas City Public Schools in KCMO. The Martin Luther King Jr. Empowerment Campus will house three buildings thanks to our highly skilled members. Signatory contractors DH Pace, PCI and Epic are all on site at this JE Dunn job. This is the first piece of construction paid for by the district's successful $474 million bond approved by voters earlier this year. The campus is expected to open in 2027. | | Very cool moment at a ceremony at Northwestern University’s new Ryan Field stadium project when Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss gave a shoutout to the MACRC and Local 58 Representative Rob Piane for working with the Trade Collective bringing some Evanston residents into the Carpenter’s Union. This was a big moment for our new apprentices that exemplifies how we build communities and provide family-sustaining career opportunities to local residents. Welcome aboard Jaden Brammer, Ivan Lewis, Israel Esteban and Macsen Evans! | | Since 1978, Woodbyrne has been crafting one-of-a-kind masterpieces for some of American’s most recognizable companies including Disney, Boeing, Bridgestone and Anheuser-Busch.
