Advocacy Efforts Continue for Restart of Construction
|
|
BIAW is on a working group created by Gov. Inslee, which is tasked with
developing plans to resume construction activities in Washington
.
On Tuesday, the working group submitted a
list of recommendations
to the governor to begin a Phase 1 restart of construction work, along with a
letter
unanimously endorsing the plan.
While this recommendation is a very positive step in getting construction going again,
the governor still needs to adopt it and adjust the order before BIAW members can get back to work on their jobsites.
