A look back at 2021

Although COVID-19 made the news often enough in 2021, especially when caseloads spiked in April, it was (thankfully) not the only topic landing in our pages this year. Significant infrastructure announcements were made as well – some planned, and some as the result of storm damage that hit multiple areas of the country.

Several of the most popular pages in our magazine and on our website were about the companies in our industry, and the projects you are working on or have completed. As we turn the calendar on yet another year, we encourage you to take part in the 2022 editions of our Photo Contest, Top Contractor and 40 Under 40 programs.

In the meantime, here are some of the noteworthy news, features and products that caught your eyes this past year.

To a bright and prosperous year ahead!
