Legislative Action & Advocacy

CAWV maintains a dynamic and lobbying program of specific goals to advance the interests of the construction industry. As our members voice at the West Virginia Legislature, we work to ensure that there is a level playing field for contractors and to maximize funding opportunities for infrastructure projects. We work against unreasonable environmental legislation, repressive labor litigation and unfair business and employment practices.

“CAWV keeps me up to date on the issues that affect my company and the construction industry. This gives me a competitive advantage in the marketplace.”
