2020 was an unforeseen year that impacted each of us, the community we live in, and each person we interact with daily. As essential workers, the construction industry’s men and women have stepped up to the plate by continuing to deliver projects while meeting changing demands and regulations. 

On December 31, 2020, the RHCA, DART, and partners paid tribute to the men and women who wake up in Dallas/Fort Worth and work to build our world, recognizing construction workers with a celebratory video tribute RHCA 2020 Day of the Construction Worker “Honoring Over 1,600 Essential Workers” and special messages from elected officials, public entities, and community leaders thanking them for their dedication and hard work to our industry.
