Arizona Contractor & Community magazine celebrates its 10th anniversary with a little help from the ASU cheerleading squad. In this 80-page issue, we feature stories on Bentson Contracting and its associated Union Rock and Materials Company, two heavyweights in midcentury construction. We tap into the knowledge of John Cadzow to explore the history of Arizona auctioneering. As a finale, we profile two memorable characters in Phoenix history: Salvadore Cudia who operated a movie studio and restaurant by Camelback Mountain, and Denny Gleason, a talented pianist when he wasn’t posting handmade street signs around the Valley.
For our core topic of construction, as we feature the latest projects by Chasse, Faciliteq, McCarthy, and Willmeng. The issue is rounded out with Douglas Sydnor’s column on Native American architect Dennis C. Numkena, and stories on why aluminum and concrete are a bad “mix,” and how to get a competitive advantage for your new construction business by crowdspring founder, Ross Kimbarovsky.
