Heavy Constructors Assn of Greater K C

Heavy Constructors Association of Greater Kansas City ( HCA ) was founded in 1950 and consists of approximately 150 general contractors, specialty contractors, major suppliers, suppliers and affiliate members. Our members help build and maintain most of the region's critical infrastructure, including roads, highways, bridges and preparing sites for major commercial and public development, all with a commitment to making it better for you... In a move that promises to puts tens of thousands of Kansans to work, a beaming Gov. Mark Parkinson signed the state's recently passed $8.2 billion transportation bill on May 26. "With the passage of this transportation bill, we will create jobs in the short term and the mid-term, and then create economic prosperity in the long term, " Parkinson said at a signing ceremony at the Kansas Speedway. HCA Executive Director Ed DeSoignie noted that, for many years, the HCA has supported Kansas City sales tax efforts dedicated to funding capital improvements. "We are extremely concerned that voter-approved capital improvement dollars are being diverted from their intended use to boost up the city budget. As a major supporter of the sales tax campaign in 2007, our credibility with the public is on the line and we take it very seriously." "Unless our elected officials at City Hall reverse these self-destructive moves, " said DeSoignie, "the people of Kansas City will be left with more broken promises, streets, bridges and sidewalks that will continue to crumble, as men and women in construction continue to be without work." An independent study known as the CIC ( Community Infrastructure Committee ) report made clear that Kansas City should spend at least $150 million on deferred maintenance. The city has never reached that level of commitment, but in the past has made concerted efforts to attain that goal.
