This summer, CEC® is bringing you a limited series of interviews with the leaders who are eliminating aging infrastructure and driving community growth. We’ll be discussing their wealth of experiences, the challenges they often face, and the opportunities before them and the people they serve. Because it’s what we’re all about, we’re calling it the Get Stuff Built Right® podcast.
