The lead senator on infrastructure issues joined an AGC contractor from Delaware on the jobsite to talk about the needs of the construction workforce.

On April 20, AGC joined the Delaware Contractors Association, Delaware Department of Transportation, and member Diamond Materials in hosting Senator Tom Carper, Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on a project jobsite tour. This roadway improvement project along Elkton Road in Newark, Delaware will reconstruct deteriorating pavement, improve traffic capacity and operations, add pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and improve safety, all important goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Senator Carper played a key role in passing. Additionally, AGC and Diamond Materials spoke with the Senator about the needs of the construction workforce and the current supply chain disruptions and historic material price increases affecting the delivery of construction projects. AGC thanks Senator Carper for his steadfast support of infrastructure funding and looks forward to continuing to work together on the issues facing the construction industry.
