Wisconsin is the No. 1 state for construction, according to Associated Builders and Contractors’ 10th annual Merit Shop Scorecard. The scorecard, released annually since 2015, ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on policies and programs that better career pathways in construction, further workforce development, and strengthen fair and open competition on taxpayer-funded construction projects.
Associated Builders and Contractors released a statement on Nov. 6, congratulating ABC-endorsed Donald J. Trump on his election as president and the election of a merit-shop majority in the U.S. Senate.
The Gypsum Association announced that ASTM International has recognized GA director of codes, standards and research Michael Schmeida, MSc, LEED AP, with an ASTM Award of Merit and the title of Fellow.
