A water boy, who soon grew up to become a heroic bombardier, made it grow. A woman, who happens to be the bombardier’s daughter, runs it. Her efforts have helped to make E.T. & L. Corp. one of the top women-led companies in all of Massachusetts for more than a decade. Like many construction companies, E.T. & L. Corp.’s beginning was small and humble.
