Construction Industry Awards Congressman Tom Rice with “Merit Shop Champion” Eagle Award
Representative Rice walked the perimeter of the job site with Chris Bullard (ABC Carolinas), Justin Whitley (Project Manager, W.M. Jordan), Rebekah Laws (Project Engineer, W.M. Jordan), Frank Bliley (Superintendent, W.M. Jordan), and Carson Rejzer (Asst. Superintendent, W.M. Jordan).
Yesterday the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of the Carolinas welcomed Representative Tom Rice to visit the W.M. Jordan Company’s South Bay Inn and Suites job site located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. W.M. Jordan is currently in it’s first year of the twenty story high-rise hotel project, where construction is slated to be completed in June of 2018.
The visit comes as ABC recognizes Representative Rice with the prestigious “Merit Shop Champion” Eagle Award. These awards are given to legislators with an 80 percent or better voting record on key issues during the previous session of Congress.
“The Carolinas are fortunate to be represented by a number of members of Congress who are true champions of the Merit Shop Philosophy and Free Enterprise system,” said director of government affairs, Chris Bullard. “We are extremely thankful for Congressman Rice’s sound leadership in Washington. His commitment to our industry and it’s workforce development play a critical role in our member companies success across the state.”
