Additionally, Summit participants were given updates regarding building, utility, and highway construction going on throughout both Carolinas, new measures regarding safety and inclusion on the jobsite, and insight into the near future concerning COVID-19.

"What a fantastic opportunity during a difficult time," said CAGC Board Chair Casey Schwager, with Sloan Construction Company. "Carolinas AGC was able to bring in some extremely relevant speakers for our 2020 Virtual Summer Summit! What an honor to be able to speak with United States Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. It was very exciting to get their perspectives on the current economy, legislative issues, and the future state of COVID–19 and recovery in the Carolinas."

Dave Simpson, CAGC President and CEO, commended the many CAGC members who participated in the Summit, adding that a number of them had key leaders of their companies listening in to the virtual meeting in their board rooms. "Our 2020 Virtual Summer Summit underscores our mission at CAGC – to be the trusted voice of construction in the Carolinas," Simpson said.
