April 2020 eBulletin

  
AGCVA and AGC of America would like to invite your firm to participate in a nationwide coronavirus safety stand down we are organizing for this Thursday, April 9th. This event – set for anytime you want on Thursday, will encourage member firms, to participate in the coronavirus safety stand down to make sure everyone on their projects knows, and follows, all appropriate coronavirus safety guidelines. While the primary objective of this effort is to make sure firms are doing everything possible to protect workers, we also need to reassure the broader public, and government officials, that the industry can continue to operate in a way that does not increase the spread of the coronavirus. 
Below is a toolkit with ideas, talking points and a request you send us photos of your firm and industry relations practicing coronavirus safety guidelines. 
AGC Webinar on Protecting Your People & Your Projects [RecordingSlides
“Factors that Construction Companies Need to Consider, as They Strive for Business Continuity”  
We recognize your business is at risk and want to position you for the best advantage.
  
Though the IRS has not extended the filing deadline for tax returns, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on March 17, 2020 that individuals and businesses will be able to defer tax payments for 90 days. Individuals can defer up to $1 million in tax payments and corporations up to $10 million in tax payments. The deferred payments will not incur interest or penalty charges. The move comes after President Trump’s Oval Office address on March 10, when he said he would be instructing the Treasury Department to defer tax payments for those affected by COVID-19.

Workforce Development
  
Construction is all around us. From the roads we drive on to the electricity that powers our world, construction impacts lives. Discover the passion and potential in a career in the building crafts. BYF produced/released the following video for WIC week and we wanted to share. 
The Roanoke District Connecting for Success Event held last month was mentioned in the Roanoke Business Partners Newsletter.  The Roanoke Workforce Solutions Committee, led by Rob Leonard with F&S Building Innovations, hosted the event and was attended by 80+ people including AGCVA members, community workforce solutions resources, education administration, and career and technical directors/instructors.

With support from Roanoke County Economic Development and others, the Associated General Contractors of Virginia brought together representatives from construction, economic development, workforce agencies, CTE leaders and more at a Workforce Solutions event.
Safety
  
AGC of Virginia is proud to recognize Perry Engineering and Winchester Precast, members of the AGC of Virginia chapter since 1952 and 2018 respectively,and 2020 recipients of the AGC CSEA Awards (CSEA; Construction, Safety, Excellence Award). 
“We are very excited about the recent CSEA awards for both Perry Engineering and Winchester Precast. To have both companies win safety awards at a national level is phenomenal. This was the 2nd year in a row for Perry Engineering. We’ve put a tremendous amount of effort into the safety programs for both companies and we’re proud of what our employees have accomplished. We’re using the CSEA awards both as confirmation that our employees can achieve great things when we work as a team as well as a motivator to continue incremental improvements in our safety program and to not get complacent.”
Ken Pracht, Safety Director for Perry Engineering
