About Us
The Construction Industry Center was organized in 1953 to
become the voice of the construction industry in the areas that
we serve. We promote a spirit of cooperation and good will among
our members and among those participating in, or interested
in, the construction industry. We cooperate with other groups,
associations, or professional societies existing or formed for
like purposes.
The Construction Industry Center is a not for profit association
comprised of members
who participate in the construction industry in all its
phases. Our Members build every type of commercial, industrial,
institutional, residential and public building; they construct
roads, utilities, power and communication systems, they sell
building materials, fixtures, machinery and equipment for every
type of construction; they furnish surety bonds, mortgage loans,
financing, and insurance for every construction activity.
