Kimberly Black founded Trusted Field Services in 2017 in Texas, but she moved to Knoxville in 2020 when business was booming in Tennessee. Trusted Field Services mostly handles concrete work and asphalt paving. Black was drawn to concrete work during the pandemic, when cities needed to improve their infrastructure: “There was a need for driveways, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and dumpster pads.” Cities needed to upgrade their sidewalks and transit authorities needed to update their bus stops to be ADA compliant.” Upgrading the bus stops around Knoxville to be compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act has been Black’s most memorable project so far. "It’s good to see that our little bit of work is helping someone be able to go about their day,” she said. Learn how Black’s work is transforming Knoxville. https://lnkd.in/eJxUyaka
