The construction marketplace in Indiana “has definitely picked up in the past couple years,” Ankrum says. “Bowen has a larger percentage of our overall backlog in Indiana than we have had in many years.” The outlook remains positive, Ankrum adds. “From discussions I’ve had with local industry partners, they all indicate a robust business climate at hand. Bowen remains focused on talent recruitment and retention in order to keep up with current demands as well as profitable growth in the future,” he says.
