Executive Secretary-Treasurer

I am delighted to be here today, with Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg, and representatives of the development community, the business community and the civic community.
On behalf of the thousands of members of the Washington DC Building Trades Council, I want to say that we are impressed with the forward-thinking that this proposed legislation represents.
Like others, we believe that coordinated planning and oversight of proposed new development in Montgomery County will have a myriad of positive developments for the community, business and labor.
New development, properly planned and supervised, means good jobs for thousands of working men and women.
Of course, we are particularly interested in the good construction jobs for our members that will be created as the new White Flint takes shape.
We look forward to join with all of the County’s stakeholders to help build new, exciting, environmentally friendly livable communities.
For over 100 years, the Washington DC Building and Construction trade unions— elevator constructors, iron workers, painters, electrical workers, UA, insulators, sheet metal workers, among others—have been strong partners in this region’s growth.
It is our great hope and expectation that we will be strong partners for the next 100 year.
