A kick-off luncheon for the Calhoun Builders Connection will be held from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Friday, April 14 for local contractors, subcontractors, developers, and anyone interested in the construction trades workforce. This event will take place at the Kool Family Community Center in the Lew Boyd Room, which is located at 200 Michigan Ave in Battle Creek. With unprecedented skilled labor shortage in this region, the focus of the Calhoun Builders Connection is to provide support to existing and emerging contractors, while providing additional services to those who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color and/or women.
This event is hosted by the Calhoun County Land Bank Authority (CCLBA), Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), Room 35, and the Home Builders Association of Western Michigan. These organizations will assist the Calhoun Builders Connection in fostering the development and growth of skilled tradespeople in Calhoun County by meeting monthly to continue the work to build the local housing construction ecosystem.
