New Opportunities in Southeast Ohio –  Abandoned Mine Lands

There is an upcoming virtual webinar about new possibilities for heavy construction work in Ohio. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which passed in 2021, created huge new opportunities for environmental cleanup work. This webinar will be geared towards explaining how much funding is coming to Ohio regarding Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) and Orphan Well projects, how to bid and win these contracts along with job opportunities which require Davis-Bacon wages and a skilled workforce.

The webinar is open to anyone who would like to attend and learn more about these exciting opportunities.
