What's getting built, and what isn't, says a lot about where the economy is headed.
Construction activity is one of the clearest early reads on a regional economy, signaling shifts in credit, labor, policy, and business confidence before they show up elsewhere. Join FEI Portland for "Concrete Numbers: The State of Portland Construction," a panel on which sectors are building, which have pulled back, and what rising costs, financing terms, and permitting timelines mean for your own capital and facility decisions - no matter your industry.
Featuring Korede Alabi (CFO, Andersen Construction), Kraig O'Conner (President & CEO, R&H Construction), and Taylor Schmitz (CFO, Joseph Hughes Construction Company). A PD session and networking round out the evening.
