GOVERNOR LEE LISTS CONSTRUCTION AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE

On March 30, Governor Lee signed an Executive Order listing construction as an Essential Service through April 14, 2020.  In the event that you are questioned at a job site, please refer to page 8 of this document: Link to Governor Lee's Executive Order

ESSENTIAL SERVICES CERTIFICATION CARD
Some members have expressed concerns about being able to prove that they are considered an essential service.  Smith Currie & Hancock has created this quick template for construction companies to use for their employees on jobsites: Click here to download

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY ADDS CONSTRUCTION AS ESSENTIAL SERVICE WORKFORCE

Thanks to the resilient efforts of the AGC of America staff,  the US Department of Homeland Security has now included construction workers on the list of essential workforce to ensure the community and national resilience in COVID-19 response.  While this is not a federal mandate, it is used as a reference by local jurisdictions in determining local mandates.  Click here to read 

NEW CHATTANOOGA PERMITTING PROCESS / DRC BUILDING CLOSED TO PUBLIC
PER DALLAS RUCKER, MARCH 27:  There will be information in the DRC lobby on applying for a permit and paper permit copies as well. You will be able to fill out permits and leave them in a bin and they will be picked up periodically and processed. With the staff working remotely, email will be the fastest. The building guard will be in the lobby, so the drop offs should be safe.
