2012 STATE MEETING ATTENDEES GET SURPRISE ADDRESS FROM GOVERNOR TOMBLIN

“The people sitting in this room represent thousands of jobs in West Virginia,” Governor Earl Ray Tomblin said to CAWV members attending the State Meeting, held March 21, 2012 in conjunction with Expo. “My administration is ready to work with you to improve the state. We are looking at the Department of Transportation and working to ensure an ambitious program to maximize the money available and give West Virginians the biggest bang for their buck.” The governor spoke to members in lieu of WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck, who was summoned back to the university just before the meeting began.

CAWV President Gene Thompson welcomed everyone to this year’s State Meeting and introduced a number of state and federal contracting officials in attendance.  He also presented the “CAWV/WVDOH Quality Concrete Construction” award to Triton Construction Company for their Martinsburg Pedestrian Plaza. CAWV Safety and Scholarship Foundation awards were also presented (see articles below).  A complete wrap up of the State Meeting is in the March/April issue of West Virginia Construction News.
