GOLD SPONSOR MEMBER HIGHLIGHT

Each year PCEA reaches out to companies in our membership to help sponsor our programs and events. Every year without fail Kelly Stanton and Prestige Concrete have been ready and willing to contribute. For more than 5 years they have been a Gold Sponsor. Kelly Stanton himself is part of the back bone that keeps PCEA growing strong. He was born in Albany New York, and has owned and sold several precast concrete businesses in upstate New York. One hundred years after his great grandfather graduated in the first class of Iowa State University, he became the fourth generation to graduate from ISU. Family is very important to Kelly as is evident in his love and devotion to his two beautiful daughters. Formerly Sales & Operations Manager for Ready Mix- CEMEX, he has now been the Commercial Sales & Market-

ing Manager for Prestige Concrete since 2009.

In Kelly’s own words, “I love selling concrete. The people I work with and the individuals I am lucky enough to have as customers are truly my friends. I belong to multiple industry organizations throughout Florida, but the best, by far, is PCEA. PCEA is well run and has great monthly attendance, augmented with fun events. A great group and I am fortunate to be a member. Our sponsorship has been the best investment our company has made. I really appreciate all that PCEA has done for us.”

It goes without saying that those sentiments are echoed back to him from everyone at PCEA. He is an honored member and it is PCEA that deeply appreciates all that you have done for us over these many years. Thank you Kelly Stanton and Prestige Concrete.

Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. and Monroe, Mich. Top Growth List While Midland, Texas and Bloomington, Ill. Have Largest Declines; Worker Shortages May be Limiting Gains in Some AreasConstruction employment rose between April 2015 and April 2016 in two-thirds of the nation’s metro areas, while spending on most types of structures increased for the year despite a drop in the latest month, according to a new analysis of federal data on employment and construction spending released to-day by the Associated General Contractors of America. Asso-ciation officials said that many parts of the country continue to benefit from strong demand for construction services.“Construction growth remains widely distributed by location and project type,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “However, job gains were uneven: many states in-cluded metros with large gains but also areas that lost jobs. Some of those metros might have added construction jobs if contractors had been able to find enough qualified workers. The dearth of skilled construction workers in many areas threatens to hold down the extent of job gains in the coming months.”There were construction employment gains in the past year in 235 out of 358 metro areas, losses in 67 areas, and no change in 56. Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. added the most con-struction jobs (14,900 jobs, 17 percent), followed by Orlan-do-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (8,800 jobs, 15 percent); New York City (7,800 jobs, 6 percent); and Phoenix-Mesa-Scott-sdale, Ariz. (7,200 jobs, 7 percent). The largest percentage

gains occurred in Monroe, Mich. (30 percent, 700 jobs); El Centro, Calif. (26 percent, 700 jobs); Ur-ban Honolulu, Hawaii (20 percent, 5,000 jobs) and Haverhill-Newburyport-Amesbury Town, Mass.-N.H. (20 percent, 800 jobs).The largest job losses from April 2015 to April 2016 were in Midland, Texas (-2,200 jobs, -8 per-cent), followed by Odessa, Texas (-1,900 jobs, -11 percent) and Omaha-Council Bluffs, Neb.-Iowa (-1,800 jobs, -7 percent). The largest percentage declines were in Bloomington, Ill. (-31 percent, -1,100 jobs); Dothan, Ala. (-16 percent, -500 jobs) and Fairbanks, Alaska (-14 percent, -400 jobs).Construction spending increased 4.5 percent from April 2015 to April 2016 despite a drop of 1.8 per-cent from March to April, Simonson noted. Private residential spending increased 8.0 percent over the year; private nonresidential spending climbed 3.4 percent; and public construction spending rose 1.2 percent.Association officials said both sets of data reflect relatively strong market conditions for the con-struction sector. The two main industry concerns remain the availability of qualified workers and the need for new investments in aging infrastructure. They added that the group would continue to push elected officials to act on its Workforce Develop-ment Plan and pass aviation and water resources

development bills.“While few cities have returned to their prior peak levels, construction head counts continue to climb in most areas,” said Stephen E. Sand-herr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Federal, state and local officials should focus on enacting measures to recruit and prepare future workers and improve aging airports, water sys-tems and other public infrastructure.”
