L.U. 124 (ees,em,i,mar,rts,se,spa,t&ptc), KANSAS CITY, MO — Work in Kansas City is booming, with multiple projects ongoing. The Meta data center project is finishing the first two buildings with multiple contractors on site.
The Panasonic battery plant continues to man up, with many calls coming in every week. Meta’s Building 3 is scheduled to begin in summer, around the time a second data center is also scheduled to begin. With that, Local 124 is bracing for three megaprojects to be all going at one time!
In February, the Jackson County Legislature approved a vote for constituents to continue the sales tax for the Chiefs and Royals. If passed April 2 (please vote in support of this), a new downtown Royals stadium will be built, along with upgrades to Arrowhead Stadium. Smaller projects would surround these jobs, as well.
Robin Carnahan, administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration, held a press event at the Charles Evans Whittaker U.S. Courthouse in Kansas City, Mo., to announce a $61 million investment in low-embodied carbon materials as part of President Joe Biden’s Investing in America agenda.
Local 124 will definitely need the help of many of our traveling brothers and sisters to complete these projects.
