Local Construction Firms, Other Community Groups Help 11 Tornado-Displaced Families Move into Transitional Housing in Mayfield
Members of the AGC of Western Kentucky, other local charitable groups, helped and supplied transitional homes for local families who lost their homes during last year’s tornados in western Kentucky
Eleven families who lost their homes during last year’s tornadoes in western Kentucky were presented new transitional housing today, thanks to the efforts of the local construction industry and other community groups. Construction firms belonging to the Associated General Contractors of Western Kentucky, as well as the Bread of Life Humanitarian Effort, helped construct, furnish and supply the new housing.
“There was no way our members were going to let our neighbors languish in hotels after losing their homes,” said Joel Crider, the workforce coordinator of the Paducah-based construction association who oversaw the recovery. “Instead, they used their skills, their expertise and their resources to make this effort possible.”
