Cambria Contracting is not only dedicated to its craft, it is also dedicated to providing a strong economic impact for the local communities in which it works. By using local labor on the majority of its projects Cambria Contracting has been able to watch communities flourish through the hiring of local labor lots of it.
A perfect example of this is the asbestos abatement performed at Rochester, NY's Midtown Rising Project. Taking place in early 2009, Cambria Contracting began handling the asbestos abatement and quickly hired on over 200 workers for the project, all from Rochester. Furthermore, of the 200 employees hired, nearly half of them were minorities or women. In a time of significant economic downturn these high paying jobs were a boon to the local Rochester economy. Both Rochester's Mayor Robert J. Duffy and Empire Development Chairman Dennis M. Mullen stated that this focus on hiring local talent as a significant indicator of a significant re-envelopment project going wonderfully.
“I am absolutely thrilled to see local workers performing these good-paying jobs,” said Mayor
Duffy. “Men and women who remember the proud vibrancy of Midtown Plaza and witnessed its decline
are now helping us write the next chapter in the history of downtown Rochester. Gov. Paterson’s
investment in our city is clearly paying dividends.”
Cambria Contracting understands the value it can provide to the local economies in which it works. In addition to the significant environmental threats they mitigate, and safe work spaces they create, Cambria Contracting also remains dedicated to helping the people of the communities they work in.
