With the labor shortage and investment in the electric industry booming, it's crucial for economic developers to make their sites 'power ready’ as quickly as possible. To secure and maintain projects, they need to collaborate with utility partners to answer key questions: How much power is available? What's the delivery timeline? How long will power be available? And how should we prioritize sites and resources amidst power and equipment constraints? Communities that keep pace with the industry's rapid growth today will thrive tomorrow.

The construction industry faces one of the highest suicide rates among all occupations – a stark reminder that mental health matters every day and on every job site. In recognition of Construction Suicide Prevention week, let’s all do our part to continue building supportive communities where everyone feels safe to speak up about their mental health. This week is a chance to start meaningful conversations and remind each other that it’s okay to ask for help. We’re stronger when we look out for one another — on and off the job site. Support is available 24/7 through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline. #SuicidePreventionMonth #ConstructionSuicidePreventionWeek #MentalHealthMatters

During a panel discussion, the pair explored technologies that are making construction jobsites smarter, safer, and more efficient by enhancing jobsite visibility and creating awareness of equipment location and usage. We’re excited to participate in these discussions and share our insights to unlock new possibilities for other industries to help advance the U.S. manufacturing industry. #Technology #Manufacturing #Construction #SmartJobsites #Innovation

It’s all hands-on deck to meet critical milestone dates for our customers. A big “thank you” to a group of Walbridge project engineers (Guillermo Garcia, Garrett Mallires, Grant Rochowiak, and Zachary Turner) who stepped in to lend a hand at our New Albany, Ohio jobsite and assemble office furniture so the project team could meet its fast-approaching turnover date. We’re proud of our Walbridge team members who consistently step up and support one another whenever needed.

At last week’s #MBS24, our site selection expert Gregory Burkart shared the 3Ps that are the driving forces behind where EV battery assembly plants will be located and how quickly they can be constructed. 💡 POWER: Sites with available infrastructure and capacity (+200 MW) reduce the time to Day One production 👷♂️ 👷♀️ PEOPLE: Labor analytics help determine if there’s sufficient labor in the region, especially skilled trades 📍 PLACE: Proximity to suppliers and customers reduces logistical costs and de-risks the supply chain It’s critical for automotive manufacturers to dig into the details of power, people and place when selecting a site to ensure long-term success. #SiteSelection #Construction #EconomicDevelopment
