Utah contractors can expect another year of strong growth in 2016, said Ken Simonson, chief economist at Associated General Contractors of America. Simonson delivered the keynote address at AGC of Utah’s 94th annual convention on Jan. 21-23 at the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City.
“We should continue to see strong growth in almost all sectors of construction in the coming year,” Simonson told the group. The convention also included the chapter’s annual leadership transition.
