in the 1970s and was a
popular shopping destination. However, competition from discount shopping, like Chesterfield Commons and its nearly 1 million sq. ft. of shopping, took its toll. Online sellers took away more business. Soon retailers in the mall could no longer compete and left. Big-box retailers like Macy’s and Dillard’s at the mall were hard hit as well.

In late February, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee launched a review of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) with a goal of identifying both successes and shortcomings of in the 2021 bipartisan law’s surface transportation policy. The committee is focused on one of the IIJA’s “foundational components,” the next Surface Transportation Reauthorization Bill. Its current provisions are set to expire in 2026.

Lano Equipment is a third-generation, family-owned equipment dealership. The company was founded in 1946 by four brothers who returned home after serving in the military. Their first shop was in Chaska, Minn. In 1978, the company moved to a 16,000-sq.-ft. facility in Shakopee.
Lano Equipment now serves its customers from its three locations in Minnesota — Anoka, Loretto and Shakopee — offering equipment, service and parts from a variety of manufacturers, including Bobcat, Kubota, Sany, DEVELON, Toro, Steiner, Felling Trailers and many more.
Richard Carron has long been a proud veteran of the United States Army. The founder and past owner of Valley Paving Inc. in Shakopee, Minn., southwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Carron served his country in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War.
He has elected to show his pride in the United States and the country’s armed forces by applying decals of the flag and symbols of the various branches of the military onto each piece of equipment used by Valley Paving.
Recently, Carron was honored by Lano Equipment for his years of service with a custom wrap on a Bobcat S770 skid steer. The wrap was done by Dirty Graphix of Stillwater, Minn. “Our relationship with Valley Paving spans more than 40 years,” said Juston Lano, general manager of Lano Equipment. “Lano values its close partnership with Rich, Brent and their team to ensure timely project completion. The custom wrap on this unit honors Rich’s dedicated military service.” CEG
More than 400 Minnetonka High School students are registered in the MOMENTUM program’s
ation and construction systems areas.
Valley Paving, a road construction and paving contractor in Shakopee, Minn., is engaging students at Minnetonka High School in Minnetonka, Minn., by challenging them to apply their mathematical skills to bid on a parking lot project that was completed at the local middle school.
The school’s MOMENTUM program offers “opportunities for students with a passion for real-word, hands-on learning to take courses that can lead to skilled trade careers,” according to the school. More than 400 Minnetonka High School students are registered in the MOMENTUM program’s automotive, aviation and construction systems areas.
“This innovative endeavor all started with countless industry expert volunteers from MAPA [Minnesota Asphalt and Pavement Association] where students got to experience the industry first-hand at Valley Paving,” said Brent Veninga, MOMENTUM program coordinator. “In this multi-station exercise, students got direct information and exposure on what it takes to run a business: from welding to crawling inside the driver’s seat of motor graders, dozers, dump trucks and other massive machines to students learning about the latest in drone technology. They received insights to the many elements it takes to complete a large transportation paving project.”
The program begins with a visit to Valley Paving’s shop, where students can explore and interact with the equip-

ment they will use in their bids, as well as learn welding techniques.
“Alongside Bituminous Roadways and Duininck, Valley Paving teaches practical math skills relevant to the trade, such as using geometry and algebra to estimate project costs accurately,” said Brent Carron, president of Valley Paving. “Over the two-month duration of the project, students present their estimates, explaining the quanti-
ties and pricing calculations to a panel of industry experts. The winning team receives recognition and a cash prize.”
“During the first five weeks of the project, industry experts and our instructional team incorporated lessons on reading blueprints and the major elements of the project, from removal and aggregates to utilities, paving and excavation,” said Veninga. “Next, see MOMENTUM page 72

In early February, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proposed a long-term $3 billion road investment plan, with $1 billion of that proposal focused on rural and local roadways as well as transit and safety improvements.
In her Road Ahead Address, the governor said she will “work with anyone to find a solution to road funding, calling on the Michigan legislature to “set aside their differences, embrace compromise,” and negotiate a bipartisan roads deal in 2025. Specifically, she highlighted the importance of finding new and fair sources of revenue as well as exploring fiscally responsible cuts, ensuring Michigan can keep repairing and rebuilding its roads.
“My brand-new plan provides a longterm, sustainable solution to fix our roads so we can help more Michiganders stay safe on the road, save money, and get where they’re going faster,” Whitmer said in a statement. “My plan is fiscally responsible and balanced, with both new revenue and cuts so we can lower costs for families.”
“I’m very pleased that the governor has put forward a comprehensive solution to funding Michigan’s roads,” said Bradley Wieferich, Michigan DOT director. “The governor’s Rebuilding Michigan plan has made record-setting progress shoring up our state’s busiest roads and bridges, and this plan will allow Michigan DOT and local agencies to sustain that momentum.”
Key elements of the governor’s plan include:
• Ensuring all federal and state fuel taxes plus a 6-percent state sales tax on every gallon of fuel goes toward Michigan infrastructure. This will put $1.2 billion toward roads, bridges and transit across the state, she said.
• Updating state tax laws to account for “Big Tech” industries such as Amazon that profit tremendously from using Michigan’s infrastructure and raising $1.7 billion in

additional revenue to fix the roads.
• Making “fiscally responsible cuts” and re-routing that money — estimated to be $500 million — into road and bridge repairs.
• Closing a loophole that exempted the marijuana industry from wholesale tax, which is applied to similar smoking products, such as cigarettes and other tobacco items. The cannabis industry, which recorded billions in sales in 2024, uses Michigan roads to transport marijuana multiple times throughout the process, including to grow operations, testing labs, distribution hubs and, finally, retail stores. This will add $470 million to help fix roads across the state, the governor’s office estimated.
• Investing an additional $250 million in every local bus service and building new transit projects statewide.

Founded in 1985 in Iron Mountain, Mich., BOSS began with a snowplow design aimed at meeting the rigorous demands of commercial snow removal experts. Over the past 40 years, the company has consistently introduced new solutions.
Marking four decades in the snow and ice management industry, BOSS Snowplow announced the release of four new products: Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights, the SmartTouch+ universal controller and TEV.
“Cold Front technology, SL4 LED headlights and SmartTouch+ represent the next generation of innovation in snow and ice control, delivering smarter, more connected tools that maximize efficiency, visibility and control,” said Jody Christy, vice president of BOSS Snowplow. “By adopting this technology now, contractors and fleet managers are adding technology that builds confidence, adds efficiencies and elevates their fleet’s performance at the highest level for years to come.”
• Cold Front technology: This electrical system simplifies snowplow and spreader wiring, streamlines vehicle integration and eliminates the traditional 13-pin plug. By combining power, ground and control wires into a single connector, Cold Front technology simplifies installation and boosts performance across select BOSS plow models, according to BOSS. Note: Cold Front technology is not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.
• SL4 LED headlights: These headlights offer brightness and visibility, featuring ClearBeam technology that provides more than 200 degrees of vision, expanding the operator’s field of view. Integrated turn signals, parking, warning and accent lights ensure comprehensive safety and visibility from all angles, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.
SmartTouch+ universal controller: The SmartTouch+
controller offers instant responsiveness and universal compatibility with all BOSS Cold Front technology plows. Its modern, intuitive interface allows operators to seamlessly control plow functions and SL4 headlights, enhancing both efficiency and customization, according to BOSS. Note: SL4 LED headlights are not compatible with 13-pin (SL3 headlight) systems.
• TEV: BOSS Snowplow’s first Trip-Edge V-Plow, designed to prevent damage to both the plow and vehicle when striking low profile obstacles. The design maximizes the capabilities of equipment, improving traction and maneuverability in snow and ice. TEV will be the first product that will have both the new SL4 headlights and Cold Front Technology, according to BOSS.
These products will be standard on models including the DXT, XT, TEV and Super Duty (excluding the 10-ft. HD DXT) for the 2025-26 season.

The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) announced that construction on the Carns State Aid Bridge began March 10. The bridge is located approximately 5.5 mi. east of the Highway 7 bridge over the Niobrara River in Rock and Keya Paha counties and is the final emergency response project from the flooding of March 2019 to go to construction.
The Carns State Aid Bridge, also spanning the Niobrara River, was one of the 27 bridges damaged in 2019 when historic water currents and extreme ice flows in the Niobrara River caused widespread damage to roadways and property across the state. At the highest point of flooding, approximately 1/3 of the state-maintained roadway system was impassable.
“NDOT is excited that full access for locals in these communities will soon be restored,” said Jodi Gibson, local assis-
tance division manager. “The damage to roads and bridges that we saw in 2019 was unimaginable and we are glad to see the recovery efforts in Nebraska complete.”
United Contractors is the contractor for this project. Work will include replacing the previous bridge with an 850-ft. concrete bridge and a new roadway north and south of the river. A detour will remain in place until construction completion, which is anticipated to be July 2026.

MGX Equipment Services successfully completed the remanufacturing of the first Manitowoc 2250 crawler crane for Maxim.
This achievement represents a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration among MGX, Maxim and Manitowoc’s EnCORE team.
As a coast-to-coast provider of turnkey lift services and crane rentals in the United States, Maxim’s remanufactured Manitowoc 2250 crawler cranes will address growing demand in the construction of data centers, warehouses and energy facilities.
“This is a significant moment for Maxim,” said Larry Lis, chief operations officer of Maxim. “It represents a close collaboration among top players in the crane industry. The Manitowoc 2250 stands out in the 300-ton capacity class, striking the perfect balance between cost and performance for providing lift services and equipment rental.”
The Manitowoc 2250 crane is wellknown for its strong capacity, adaptability and efficiency, which makes it perfect for heavy construction, infrastructure and industrial projects. Its sturdy design provides contractors with a reliable and cost-effective choice for offering comprehensive lift services and equipment rental solutions, according to the company.
“These remanufactured 2250 cranes will be used to provide turnkey lift services and bare equipment rentals,” Lis said. “The first one is headed to a major oil and gas facility in our central region.”
The remaining Manitowoc 2250 cranes are being systematically rebuilt and will gradually be integrated into Maxim’s nationwide rental fleet to support ongoing work. The ambitious refurbishment effort is set to continue through 2026 and involves remanufacturing several cranes at a time at EnCORE-certified MGX facilities in Louisiana and South Carolina, according to the company.
“We currently have a significant number of Manitowoc 2250s in our fleet,” Lis said. “By partnering with MGX and Manitowoc for remanufacturing, we ensure top-tier performance for an additional 12-15 years at a fraction of the cost of new cranes. This positions us to meet nationwide demand while extending the life of these exceptional machines.”
The Manitowoc 2250 stands out in the 300-ton capacity class, striking the perfect balance between cost and performance for providing lift services and equipment rental.”
This October, Equip Exposition, the international landscape, outdoor living and equipment exposition, will unveil several new features for the award-winning trade show, including new equipment categories, top-notch entertainment and more.
From Oct. 21-24, 2025, thousands of landscapers, dealers, contractors, hardscape experts and outdoor power equipment manufacturers will gather at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) in Louisville for the largest event of their industry.
“We are always aiming to improve what we can offer attendees, and the excitement around the 2025 show is already high. We’re well ahead in exhibitor space reservations this year over 2024,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing manufacturers and suppliers of power equipment, small engines, battery power systems, portable generators, utility and personal transport vehicles, and golf cars, which owns and manages the blockbuster show.
With more than 1.2 million sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor exhibit space, Equip Exposition is a “must see” for dozens of reasons, including the 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard, unique peer-to-peer networking events, education and technical training offerings both in English and Spanish, high-level speakers and world class entertainment.
But Kiser said landscapers, contractors, industry insiders and power equipment dealers should put Equip Exposition on their calendars early this year because several must-see events and offerings will be on hand, including:
• A special keynote speaker, Jesse Cole, founder of the wildly-popular baseball team, the Savannah Bananas, who will inspire attendees to grow their own businesses to new heights. As one of America’s most famous entrepreneurs, Cole will share what it takes to develop a great idea into a brand that people embrace and love, and how to keep creativity flowing for the long haul.
• Created just for Equip Exposition, an exclusive small batch Bourbon will be made by a Kentucky master distiller. For help in naming the bourbon, Equip welcomes input from attendees and exhibitors though a special naming contest.
• Boom trucks, lifts and other large vehicles will be available in an outdoor KEC parking lot as well as indoors on the KEC’s Freedom Hall floor.
• A newly-expanded and re-located UTV Test Track will move this year to a larger area. The relocation frees up additional space in the 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard, where attendees will test equipment, drive, cut, chop, dig, trench and do more in the re-configured space.
• Top-notch entertainers Big & Rich and solo country artist Gretchen Wilson will perform an exclusive concert see EQUIP page 84

In a competitive industry where downtime can mean significant financial losses, Rubber Track Pro has made a name for itself as a reliable supplier of rubber tracks and undercarriage parts for construction equipment.
Founded in late 2023, the company has a combined 20 years of industry expertise to provide contractors with quality parts and personalized customer service.
What started as a focused effort on rubber tracks and undercarriage parts has expanded as customer demand has grown. According to Lily Martinez, business development manager of Rubber Track Pro, the company’s foundation was built on extensive research into reputable manufacturers and suppliers.
“We know our customers’ business depends on their machines,” Martinez said. “The last thing we want is to sell them a faulty part. That’s why we put extensive effort into selecting quality products and ensuring we stand behind them.”
Rubber Track Pro’s warranty program reflects this commitment. The company offers a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty on its rubber tracks, with a less than 1 percent claim rate, and a 12-month warranty on undercarriage parts.
Rubber Track Pro prides itself on its personal approach to customer service. Martinez shared a recent experience where the team went the extra mile to locate an engine for a customer who had searched for weeks.
“To hear the relief in his voice when we told him we had found the engine,” she said. “It’s moments like that that make the job rewarding,” she said.
With three centrally located warehouses in the United States, Rubber Track Pro can offer same-day shipping on orders placed before 2 p.m., ensuring contractors get the parts they need without costly delays. Many customers are surprised to receive their tracks the next day, especially with free nationwide shipping.
“If a customer calls us looking for something that we don’t have in stock, we don’t just turn them away. We actively search through our network to source the part for them,” Martinez said.
While rubber tracks and undercarriage parts remain the company’s focus, Rubber Track Pro is continually expanding its offerings. Recently, it introduced solid rubber tires for skid steers, and Martinez hinted at more product launches soon.
“Our inventory is growing, and we’re seeing increased demand from our customers. We’re planning to add more products by the end of the year,” she said.
In addition to supplying contractors, Rubber Track Pro offers wholesale pricing for heavy equipment mechanics and other suppliers. The company is open to inquiries from potential wholesale buyers looking to benefit from their extensive inventory.
to fulfill orders.
“Many mechanics and repair shops reach out to us for parts because they trust our quality,” Martinez said. “We offer them wholesale rates without requiring bulk orders, which helps them keep their customers happy.
“We want to be the first name contractors think of when they need reliable undercarriage parts. For contractors in need of high-quality rubber tracks, undercarriage parts and exceptional service, Rubber Track Pro is quickly becoming a trusted name in the industry.”

At its annual AGC Honors on Feb. 18, Associated General Contractors of Minnesota (AGCMN) recognized individuals and companies for their outstanding contributions and commitment to Minnesota’s commercial construction industry.
AGC Honors celebrates the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award, SkillResponsibility-Integrity (SRI) Award, Safety Awards, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Awards, Legislative Awards and Bridge Awards.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Brian J. Mathiowetz of Mathiowetz Construction Company. Mathiowetz’s career in construction began in his early childhood, then moved to full time in 1981 when he joined Mathiowetz Construction, bringing with him a civil engineering degree from the University of Minnesota and a deep desire to contribute to the family business. He became president in 1995 and then CEO in 1999 at his father’s sudden passing. The business grew from $5M in revenue in 1981, his first year, to $100M in 2024.
Mathiowetz’s leadership extended beyond Mathiowetz Construction into his service on the AGC board of directors. In 2011, he was honored with AGC’s Skill, Responsibility and Integrity (SRI) award.
A key part of Mathiowetz’s career was his work on the AGC/MnDOT Grading and Base committee, where he partnered with MnDOT to refine and clarify specifications. He co-chaired this committee for more than 25 years. His ability to bring all parties together, find common ground and communicate effectively about MnDOT specifications and best practices, was essential to the success of continuous improvement on MnDOT projects.
“Brian not only embodies the principles of outstanding leadership and extensive expertise befitting a recipient of this award, he also carries a unique passion for the Minnesota construction industry and an undying love for the people who make it all happen,” said Tim Worke, AGC CEO, in presenting the award.
As Mathiowetz Construction celebrates its 100th year, Mathiowetz’s third generation of leadership and legacy are being passed on to the company’s fourth generation of leadership. His vision and values continue to shape the company’s future, ensuring that his lifetime achievements will carry on for years to come.
The Skill-ResponsibilityIntegrity (SRI) Award was presented to John Hass of Veit. As the director of lean operations of Veit, Hass played a pivotal role in getting AGC's Worker Safety and Underground Utility bill signed into law by providing legislative committee testimony, participating in a key press conference and consistently bringing advocates together.
This legislation, part of the Transportation Policy Omnibus Bill (H.F. 3436) signed on May 15, 2024, impacts chapter 216D of the state excavation safety statutes. Beginning in 2017, Hass collaborated with various association and contractor representatives on this AGC-led initiative, which Gov. Tim Walz signed into law this past May.
Hass leads the Utility Infrastructure Division of AGC and participates in the AGC Safety Committee. He also sits on the board of directors of the Minnesota Utility Contractors Association (MUCA) and is actively involved with Day of the Dozers, an interac-

tive event allowing families to experience heavy equipment up close while learning about the construction industry, damage prevention and safety.
“Just as John has always said, ‘It’s not a matter of if; it’s a matter of when’ regarding the imminent danger to contractors posed by unmarked buried utilities. We at AGC knew that it wasn’t a matter of if, but rather when John would be recognized with this award,” said Laura Ziegler, AGC director of highway/heavy and government relations.
Recognized with the Jeff Jensen Memorial Construction Safety Excellence Awards were Danny’s Construction Co., PCL Construction and Adolfson &
Impact Champions were Lunda Construction, Valley Paving, Donlar Construction, JE Dunn Construction, ArchKey SolutionsParsons Electric and GoodwillEaster Seals of Minnesota.
Moltron Builders Inc was presented with the 2024 Diverse Business of the Year Award, and the Ally of the Year Award went to Elizabeth Campbell (Ryan Companies US Inc.).
“Our members continue to demonstrate a high level of commitment to DEI in areas of workforce and small business contracting,” said Yolanda McIntosh, AGC director of DEI. “These awards are well-deserved.”
AGC also presented two Legislative Awards, honoring the tireless work of two state representatives. Rep. Larry Kraft received the Legislator of the Year Award in acknowledgment of the extensive work he did to get AGC’s Worker Safety and Underground Utility bill signed into law. Rep. Frank Hornstein was honored with the Legislator of Distinction Award in recognition of his many decades of service to the construction industry, and his commitment to fighting for infrastructure funding at the state level.
AGC and MnDOT also honored three contracting firms and multiple municipalities and individuals for their winning projects in the joint AGC/MnDOT Bridge Awards for projects completed in 2023.
Peterson Construction.
These awards are presented in three categories (based on annual work hours) for outstanding safety records on jobsites and in employee safety training programs over the previous year.
“We are incredibly proud of all three Jeff Jenson Award winners,” said Stacy Arnold, AGC director of safety and CHASE. “All three companies demonstrate Jeff’s passion and vision for safety by executing the leadership that is required to achieve a trademark performance year.”
The AGC DEI Awards recognize firms that have gone above and beyond in the past year to develop cultures of inclusion.
Recognized this year as DEI
Redstone Construction was awarded in the “Low-Cost Structure (less than $1.5M)” category for Bridge #05020 carrying 4th Street over TH 10 in St. Cloud. Lunda Construction Co was awarded in both the “Medium Cost Structure (between $1.5 and $5M)” category for Bridge #70054, a pedestrian trail bridge over U.S. Hwy 196 in Shakopee, and in the “High-Cost Structure (over $5M)” for Bridge #25042 over Hay Creek and Withers Harbor Drive in Red Wing.

During a live auction, the T880S mixer was sold to New London, Minn.-based Crow River Construction for $260,000. All proceeds of the sale were given to ConTech-designated charities, including Ronald McDonald House of Rochester, Minn.; Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota; St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital; Child Liberation Foundation, among others.
For Crow River Construction, the Kenworth T880S mixer presented an excellent opportunity for the company to add a new truck to its growing fleet. The T880S, with a set-forward front axle, helps mixer customers comply with federal bridge formulas. A PACCAR MX-11 engine powers the truck.
Crow River Construction launched its ready-mix division in 2021 and has built an all-Kenworth ready-mix fleet consists of 14 Kenworth T880 and W900 trucks.
“The timing was perfect,” said Kraig Hanson, Crow River Construction owner “We were looking to add another T880 mixer to our fleet when our contacts at Rihm Kenworth and Con-Tech reached out about the auction. It was awesome to purchase a new truck that’s a good fit for our operation
and to see that money was donated to some incredible charity organizations that are making a difference in our local communities in Minnesota and beyond.
“This auction is a significant fundraising initiative that resulted in a remarkable donation to charity organizations that all of us at Con-Tech deeply value,” said Dan Welsh, president of Con-Tech Manufacturing in Dodge Center, Minn. “We greatly appreciate Crow River Construction for purchasing this truck to help make this happen.”
“It was great to team up with Con-Tech, Rihm Kenworth and other contributing suppliers to build this truck and help raise money for some incredible charity organizations,” said Kyle Kimball, Kenworth director of marketing.
Crow River Construction, founded in 2013, specializes in sewer and water and utility construction work in addition to its ready-mix services and aggregate material sales. Company-wide, the firm operates 28 Kenworth trucks, including T880, W990 and W900 models. Crow River Construction works with Rihm Kenworth — Sauk Centre, Minn. its local Kenworth dealer.
“Kenworth trucks make up the majority of our fleet, and they are very reliable for us,” said Hanson. “We have a great relationship with Rihm. They’ve done a great job supporting our company by equipping us with trucks that match our operational needs.”

students are provided with the opportunity to give their bid presentation to a review panel, followed by a ‘bid opening’ event so everyone could hear what the other teams did.”
Throughout the experience, students strengthened skills to levels beyond what they might achieve in a typical classroom environment.
“From the hard skills related to math and physics, to soft skills of working with professionals on a weekly basis, a new type of learning was created thanks to these industry experts,” said Veninga. “Budgeting and estimating are lifelong skills for us all to acquire, and this took place throughout the challenge. Now students have a new understanding of the consistency of the materials applied, labor required and resources implanted, this experience really differentiates our MOMENTUM students in new and positive ways.”

The asphalt industry, like many sectors in construction, is grappling with the challenge of attracting and retaining top talent.
With a tight labor market, a dwindling pool of skilled workers are increasingly scarce as people seek advancement opportunities, train in alternate industries or lack the necessary experience to fill skilled construction and infrastructure roles.
To address these challenges, construction companies should take a proactive approach to advance workforce planning to secure long-term employment success.
At World of Asphalt, business strategist Jeani Ringkob will lead an educational session, “Winning the Talent War: Strategic Workforce Planning for Asphalt Industry Success,” offering actionable insights on how companies can recruit and develop an experienced and skilled workforce and remain competitive.
“Attracting and retaining top talent is one of the biggest challenges facing the asphalt industry today,” said World of Asphalt Show Director Brittany Schmidtke. “That’s why we’re thrilled to feature Jeani Ringkob’s workforce planning session at World of Asphalt in St. Louis this March. Jeani brings a powerful, forward-thinking approach to workforce strategy, helping companies not only fill positions, but also build stronger more engaged teams that drive long-term success.”
The needs of the asphalt and construction industry routinely change with technological advancements, shifting workforce demographics and experience requirements. Employers failing to plan for these changes risk losing their most valuable assets — people. Strategic workforce plan-
ning anticipates future needs, identifies workforce gaps and develops long-term solutions for supporting daily operations.
Offering years of industry specific experience helping businesses navigate workforce challenges, Ringkob provides practical strategies for developing skilled-labor pipelines, improving employee retention and positioning companies as top-tier employers.
• Building workforce strategies for long-term success;
• Increasing company value through people;
• Leveraging marketing and storytelling tactics to attract top talent;
• Increasing employee engagement, stability and productivity;
• Reducing turnover and recruiting costs; and
• Improving onboarding experience, retention and employee referrals.
“Building a workforce strategy is essential to long-term company growth and value,” said Ringkob. “And the companies seeing success in workforce planning right now are treating their workforce strategy like an essential business function, not an HR issue.”
Winning the talent war requires more than just filling open positions, it demands strategic planning, a strong employer brand and commitment to growth. By attending “Winning the Talent War: Strategic Workforce Planning for Asphalt Industry Success,” Thursday, March 27, 2025, in St Louis, Mo., industry professionals will gain the tools and knowledge needed to attract, retain and develop the future of the workforce, according to World of Asphalt.

ADVANCE, an industry leader in concrete delivery solutions, announced the debut of its new Challenger front discharge mixer that offers contractors and ready mix producers a compact and maneuverable solution without compromising on performance.
“The Challenger offers a perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability,” said David Grabner, general manager of ADVANCE. “Its reduced footprint doesn’t just mean easier navigation — it translates to improved fuel efficiency and reduced road and street damage, and a significantly quieter operational platform.
“For contractors working in developing areas, residential zones or congested urban environments, the Challenger represents the future of concrete delivery: compact, efficient and powerfully capable.”
Building on the legacy of the Commander and Charger series, the Challenger introduces a shorter wheelbase of 186 in. and a turning radius of 31.5 ft., making it the ideal choice for urban job sites and confined spaces where the larger models might face challenges. Additionally, the vehicle’s dimensions — 150 in. in height, 101 in. in width and 367 in. in length — enable easier navigation through tight city streets and congested construction sites while maintaining stability and performance.
The Challenger’s innovative 6x2 rear engine configuration features a sophisticated three-axle system that supports a robust 50,000-lb. GVWR. The combination of a
Dana D2200W front axle, Dana S23-172 drive axle and Hendrickson HLM tag axle provides optimal weight distribution and stability. Enhanced features provide a unique traction control solution while providing excellent maneuverability in challenging conditions, according to the manufacturer.
Despite its more compact footprint, the Challenger produces 325 hp due to its Cummins B6.7 engine, paired with an Allison 3000 RDS 6-speed automatic transmission. The mixer’s 6-cu.-yd. federal bridge capacity enables it to handle substantial loads despite its more compact footprint.
Operational efficiency remains at the forefront with an automated wash system to simplify maintenance, while the trainer-friendly configuration makes it an excellent choice for fleet expansion. The standard 125-gal. pressurized water tank (with a non-pressurized option available) and 50-gal. fuel tank support extended operation without frequent refills. Safety features include a Wabco 4channel ABS system, and available options such as an air flip hopper and hydraulic folding chutes add versatility.
“We’re thrilled to showcase the Challenger at World of Concrete 2025,” said Grabner. “At ADVANCE, we are committed to developing solutions that help our customers work more efficiently in challenging environments.

Volvo Construction Equipment and Herc Rentals are celebrating a multi-year agreement that adds several hundred Volvo EC37 compact excavators to the rental giant’s fleet across North America.
The 3.7-ton EC37 fits into one of the most popular compact excavator class sizes for rental, and the two companies partnered to develop the model in a way that would best serve rental customers. Herc Rentals is a fullservice equipment rental company with 439 company-operated branches in the United States and Canada.
“This is the culmination of a cooperative effort to build a machine spec that renters will appreciate, and we’re excited for Herc Rentals customers to have such great access to the EC37,” said Kent Somerville, head of national rental accounts at Volvo CE. “It’s an incredibly comfortable and versatile machine.”
Volvo CE sought feedback on the EC37 excavator from Herc Rentals technicians, salespeople and other staff when it was showcased at the Herc Rentals ProExpo in early 2024. That input directly influenced the final version of the model.
“Collaborating with Volvo on the EC37 allowed us to incorporate essential features that significantly impact our customers’ success,” said Matt Gavin, VP product support and fleet operations at Herc Rentals. “Our partnership with Volvo is invaluable — they resonate with our core values and prioritize what truly matters to us, demonstrating their commitment to creating an exceptional customer experience.”
Scott Young, head of Region North America at Volvo CE, echoed the sentiment.
and hundreds more are planned for delivery to its branches across the United States and Canada in 2025.
(L-R) are Agako Nouch, Kent Somerville, Trayson Mathias and Scott Young of Volvo CE with Aaron Birnbaum, Will Bailie, Mark Humprey, Rob Valerio and Matt Gavin of Herc Rentals in Bonita Springs, Fla., in front of a recently delivered EC37 compact excavator.
“We’re proud to have such a strong relationship with Herc Rentals, one of the largest machine buyers in the world,” said Young. “Compact equipment has become a big focus area for us, and this partnership exemplifies our dedication to providing the best solutions possible.”
The collaboration resulted in updates that make it even easier to change attachments, which is crucial for the versatility and ease of use needed in the rental market. Operator experience was prioritized with a large cab, more ergonomic features and factory-installed telematics that offer comprehensive real-time machine management.
The Volvo EC37 excavator offers 10 percent better fuel efficiency, increased operator comfort, more stability and easier maintenance than the model it replaces in the OEM’s lineup, according to the manufacturer.
The cab is considered one of the best on the market due to outstanding visibility, an adjusted center of gravity that reduces the “rocking chair effect,” and features that prioritize the operator experience. Customizable hydraulics flow set-
tings and work modes accommodate a wide range of attachments and make them easier to set up.
Although it was introduced just a year ago, the Volvo EC37 compact excavator has already earned multiple industry awards.
“The 3- to 4-ton range makes up more than a quarter of the compact excavator market in North America,” said Somerville. “It’s a competitive market, but the versatility and comfort of the EC37 definitely make it stand out.”
The final units of the first phase of Herc Rental’s order were recently delivered, and hundreds more are planned for delivery to their branches across the United States and Canada in 2025.
Equipment renters can contact their local Herc Rentals branch to see the unit in person or check availability. For more information, visit volvoce.com/united-states/ en-us/products/excavators/ec37/.

Manitou Group, a world reference in the handling, aerial work platform and earth moving sectors, has won the “Grand Prix Impact Entreprise 2024”. This award recognizes the group’s solid local roots, its successful international expansion and its commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
Organized each year in partnership with Altios, Crédit Agricole Anjou Maine, KPMG, Audencia and the Journal des Entreprises, the “Grand Prix Impact Entreprise 2024” award recognizes outstanding companies in the Pays de la Loire region. Of the 30 entries received for this 33rd edition, Manitou Group was awarded the “Grand Prix Impact Entreprise 2024”.
Jacqueline Himsworth, chairman of the board, said, “We are proud to receive the Impact Entreprise Grand Prize. This distinction reflects our shared determination, together with all our stakeholders, to accelerate the transformation of our industry where we operate. We are continuing to invest and innovate on all our international production sites, offering our customers ever more sustainable solu-
tions, in line with our strategic roadmap”.
In particular, the jury praised Manitou Group’s passion for providing long-term support to the region’s high schools and higher education establishments, developing its relationships with local charities through sponsorship and working on a daily basis with an extensive network of regional suppliers.
The company’s policy of investing in all its production sites in western France and abroad, as well as the acquisitions it has made in recent years, also were highlighted.
The jury added: “Manitou Group is rolling out a global impact strategy across all its sites. This high-impact project is the fruit of years of collaboration with stakeholders, and of collective initiatives driven by employees and supported by management. The Impact Entreprise jury was unanimous in its praise for the teams’ humility and pride in the progress they have made, their commitment to their stakeholders and their willingness to constantly challenge themselves with ambitious goals.”

St. Louis-based Staenberg Group (TSG) bought the mall in 2018 and decided to repurpose the 117-acre site into a mixed-use development. The $2 billion redevelopment project was envisioned to include 2,700 residences, office space, a grocery store, restaurants and more.
“This new entity will be an urban downtown in a suburban location,” said Tim Lowe, Staenberg’s senior vice president of development. “We’re trying to create something that will appeal to people who are looking for a downtown environment that comes with extra amenities.”
Taylor Reich is the project manager of the “Downtown Chesterfield” effort. He stated that the Dillard’s building is still owned by the department store, while the Macy’s store will be repurposed by TSG. With 255,000 (approx. 85,000 per floor for three floors) sq. ft. of space and columns 26-32 ft. apart, the Macy’s building has “exciting potential” according to Reich.
While many similar redevelopment projects lay dormant for years, The Staenberg Group started inside demolition two weeks after the last tenant left. For Staenberg, inside demolition means a commitment to recycling whenever feasible.
Like saving pieces of a 1970s car for repurchase by a classic car collector, the mall has many items worth saving.
“We are recycling some 2,000 linear feet of buss ducts,” said Reich. “These sheet metal ducts are for electrical distribution in malls and are not being built anymore. We are removing them so they can be resold or repurposed.”
Some equipment will be reused as is, while other metals can be recycled.
“Our goal is to recycle everything we can and minimize the material that must be taken to the landfill.”
However, most of the utility infrastructure cannot be reused as is and is being disassembled by hand and taken out of the structure by scissors lifts. The first 30-45 days of inside demolition began with utilities, including gas lines, being decommissioned.
The work of extracting electric meters began soon afterward. The demolition effort entails pulling the sewer system out of the ground and reorienting the 12-in. water mains. Twenty manholes, which cover shafts leading to underground utility vaults, also will be removed.
“We are taking out utilities clear to the road that circles the mall. Everything in the new development will be brand new,” said Reich.
TSG is following an aggressive schedule with the Downtown Chesterfield develop-
TSG estimates that 80,000 cu. yds. of concrete will be repurposed on site.
ment. Demolition contractor Spirtas Worldwide, located in the St. Louis metro area, began knocking down walls in midDecember and will complete the job this summer. Grading the property will take some time with construction of new utilities planned for 2026. Developers will begin their work after that.
Workers are using excavators with a variety of attachments, including claws and mobile shears. Concrete grinders and jaw crushers will pulverize concrete onsite, which will be used to support new roads and
structures.
TSG estimates that 80,000 cu. yds. of concrete will be repurposed onsite. The asphalt parking lots also will be recycled and used as a base layer or intermediate layer for new roads.
Bulldozers, motor graders, front loaders and other equipment will be used to grade the property and bring it to a fixed level consistent with where the Macy’s and Dillard’s buildings were situated. Project supervisors will use drone footage and GPS from bulldozers to locate material for fill.
“We use the drones to document progress
every month,” said Reich. “We use a combination of technologies to ensure that levels will be accurate.”
Security is always an issue, especially on a property that some locals have been around for nearly 50 years.
“We will put up nearly a mile of fencing around the property,” said Reich. “We don’t want members of the public getting inside and getting hurt. Of course, we will insist on proper safety attire for our workers.”
One unusual aspect of the demolition is that TSG and Spritas allowed first responders some elbow room to hone their rescue skills while demolition is happening elsewhere on the property.
“They learned how to safely cut a hole in a building in order to perform a rescue,” said Reich. “This is specialized training for them and even could help prepare for a major disaster like an earthquake. Not many developers would allow first responders this kind of practice.”
While the downtown Chesterfield dream is clear to TSG people and developers as they study their mockups, the current site is mostly rubble.
“We are looking to create a multi-generational community here,” said Reich. “The Town Square will be anchored with a 3.3acre park, pedestrian trails and bike paths. The community will have more than 1,700 public parking spaces, but the emphasis will be for residents to be able to walk where they want to go. It will be a community where people will want to live and enjoy for years to come.”

Sen. Shelly Moore Capito of West Virginia, committee chair, said the group wants “to continue what is working but discontinue what isn’t working.”
She believes the hearing comes at a critical time as the provisions expire at the end of next year.
“Since the law’s enactment on November 15, 2021, transportation stakeholders have been delivering on its promise,” yet facing challenges, she said.
Capito recognized stakeholders at the meeting, there to provide “an on-the-ground update” of their efforts to deliver projects in rural and urban communities.
“On the positive side, the federal highway formula programs received approximately 90 percent of the funding in the IIJA,” she said. “This funding has provided states with certainty, and with the flexible project eligibilities to address the transportation needs of Americans.”
She noted that she also “championed commonsense provisions” to accelerate projects for the safety and reliability benefits that they will bring.
“I am curious to hear from our witnesses today, if these provisions are being used and whether they have been having the desired impact,” said Capito. “Despite the many benefits, I am aware that we have some challenges with the implementation of the IIJA.”
She cited inflation as a contributing factor, eating into the overall funding increase provided by the IIJA and increased project costs.
“I look forward to our witnesses’ sharing the real-world impacts of this inflation on the work that they are doing,” she said.
Another challenge is that many of the new IIJA discretionary grant programs have been slow in achieving their congressional intent, Capito added.
“These programs require significant time and money from eligible applicants,” she said. “And once a grant has been awarded, the project grant agreement was often taking more than a year to be negotiated and signed by the prior administration.”
The delays in the benefits of each project contributed to ballooning unused obligation authority, said Capito.
Those obligations then must be sent back to the states as part of a process known as the August Redistribution. In 2024, that amount was $8.7 billion.
“This results in an end-of-the-fiscal-year scramble as states seek to put that … funding to use, often putting it toward lower-priority projects,” she said. “We advanced a bipartisan fix to help with this issue last year, but the challenge remains and it’s growing.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island agreed with Capito’s assessment of the positive and negative aspects of IIJA.
Whitehouse, ranking member of the EPW committee, also sees the need for timely passage of the next surface reauthorization bill.
He said he wanted to join colleagues to “take stock of our bipartisan infrastructure law,” and “craft policies to fix our aging roads and our bridges.”
Whitehouse also wants to see passage of a package before the current law expires in September 2026.
“This would be a reasonable course of action, regardless of who is president,” he added.
Among the witnesses who spoke at the hearing was Russell McMurry, Georgia DOT commissioner and AASHTO vice president.
McMurry outlined four principles that he believes Congress should base its reauthorization efforts upon.
First, he wants timely authorization of a
Federal
long-term federal surface transportation bill by Sept. 30, 2026.
McMurry also called for maximized state flexibility to deliver projects that advance safety, efficiency and innovation.
That means Congress should provide increased flexibility and transferability between formula program categories.
Congress also should combine programs that have similar policy objectives in the next surface transportation bill.
McMurry’s third desired principle is for Congress to enable robust federal funding.
“Congress should build upon the base funding level provided in the IIJA through both the Highway Trust Fund and General Funds,” said McMurry.
Building into the next reauthorization bill would ensure at the least that federal funding can keep pace with inflation, according to the AASHTO article.
McMurry believes core IIJA formula programs give states funding certainty to plan and deliver properly for the future.
“Federal funding is a foundational investment, vital for the state of good repair for our nation’s highways and bridges,” he said.
He stressed that moving people and freight safely and efficiently involves more than just building transportation infrastructure.
It is about improving the nation’s economy and the quality of life for all of the country’s residents, said McMurry.
“That is why the IIJA’s federal surface transportation funding has been absolutely vital to every state to safely move people and goods.”
It “helps us deliver projects across our very diverse state from the coast to the mountains,” added McMurry.
Inflation over the past four years has resulted in hikes in construction material costs, to be accounted for in the next surface reauthorization bill.
McMurry said replacing discretionary grants with formula funding will help states process increases in the cost of materials.
“Under IIJA, discretionary [grant] funds have been slow to deploy for both state DOTs and local governments,” he said.
Formula funding, on the other hand, flows faster, he said. And it can be “flexed” so states can focus on their specific transportation needs.
“It enables funds to be distributed to states in a stable and predictable manner,” said McMurry.
It also allows states to efficiently deliver projects identified and prioritized through the statewide and metropolitan planning process.
McMurry said Congressional Budget Office estimates have 67 percent of formula dollars ‘spent out’ via cash and put into tangible projects by IIJA year two.
Discretionary grants under the IIJA have only been ‘spent out’ at a rate somewhere between 1 percent to 7.4 percent by year two, said McMurry.
That’s attributed to core formula programs fund projects that are in the constantly moving [planning] pipeline.
However, discretionary grant awards have often targeted projects that have not been considered through the planning process, said McMurry. He also stressed that formula funds allow states to transfer some of those funds between programs.
This, in turn, helps state DOTs deliver “the right project at the right time” to meet their transportation system needs.
McMurry asked that Congress increase the extent to which formula funding is prioritized over discretionary funding.
He wants 95 percent or more of authorized Highway Trust Fund highway dollars to go to apportioned programs for states in the next reauthorization bill.

Manitowoc is proud to partner with Brooke’s House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women in recovery to rebuild their lives. By purchasing a “Building Together” limited-edition shirt, supporters can make a difference — 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to Brooke’s House, supporting its mission to provide tools, training and assistance for women transitioning from addiction to recovery.
The collaboration goes beyond financial support — it’s a commitment to creating life changing opportunities. Manitowoc has trained and hired more than a dozen Brooke’s House participants, integrating them into Manitowoc’s welding and assembly operations. These women now play a vital role in manufacturing mobile hydraulic cranes, crawler cranes and boom trucks for
Manitowoc’s leading brands, including Grove, National Crane and Shuttlelift.
“Manitowoc believes in the mission of Brooke’s House, and we recognize the challenges these women face as they re-enter the workforce,” said Dave Hull, Manitowoc’s general manager.
“We’re proud to offer them not just
jobs but meaningful careers with sustainable income and limitless potential.”
Brooke’s House partnership with Manitowoc provides more than just training to participants — it builds confidence, fosters dignity and offers a fresh start. Manitowoc’s six-week welding school has helped several women embark on fulfilling careers. One participant shared how rewarding it feels to “put something together with your own hands and feel so wellaccepted in this heavy manufacturing environment.”
The “Building Together” limited edition shirts represent hope and change. By purchasing one, you’re helping raise awareness for Brooke’s House and its critical mission to combat addiction and provide second chances.
“Formula dollars provide stability, predictability and efficiency, allowing state and local governments to plan and deliver projects effectively,” he said. “If there is a desire to address additional priorities, the most efficient way … is through expanded eligibility within existing formula programs.”
Capito stressed that safety, supply chain and technology are the bases of any committee policymaking. She has bipartisan support for her drive to update IIJA.
McMurry wants to see the implementation of proven roadway safety strategies continue. He also wants promising new and innovative countermeasures and technologies accelerated.
“An evolution of our traffic safety culture is needed, and states are laser-focused within our organizations and with our outside partners to promote safety,” he said.
Gary Johnson of Granite Construction asked the committee members for commitments to long-term funding in the surface transportation reauthorization.
He wants a five-year document to guide and clarify policy for industry stakeholders.
Representing the Transportation
Construction Coalition, he said continued long-term duration for the next surface transportation bill is imperative.
“Extensions and short-term bills rob states
of their ability to plan over the long term,” said Johnson.
The result, he testified, is “a reliance on smaller maintenance work rather than trans-
formative transportation investment.”
Though the Senate committee has not mentioned a multiyear bill, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee also is looking at reauthorization.
Rep. Sam Graves of Missouri, house committee chair, said it would be a collaborative effort involving congress members and industry stakeholders.
Sean Duffy, U.S. transportation secretary, wants environmental permitting rules overhauled, and safety and efficiency technologies adopted.
“I want aggressive change. I don’t want incremental change. I want fast change that’s going to transform the way that we do business.”
Duffy said he wants “to use more private capital. I want more technology, and I want more innovation in your space.”
He said he would recognize “innovators who create and find ways to better build projects they care about.
“I’ll reward the innovators who create and find ways to better build and more effectively build the projects that you guys care so much about,” said Duffy. “And for those who innovate and are creative, I’m going to give
more freedom, and I’m
