Hager said that work could include closeout, maintenance and additional buildout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager emphasized the long partnership with Honda and thanked leadership for the relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Hollywood Casino Hotel: on schedule but \u201cfrigid\u201d in the elements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the Hollywood Casino Hotel project is scheduled for completion in March 2027 and is currently on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He noted the job is still exposed to the elements as crews work to close in the building, calling it a \u201cfrigid\u201d site until windows and enclosure are fully in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A region changing fast: Amgen, Meta, PharmaVite and power projects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the NABTU visitors had not been to New Albany since Intel\u2019s groundbreaking in September 2022, and they were struck by the scale of the development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the drive, Hager pointed out multiple projects and expansions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Amgen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, undergoing a <\/span><b>$900 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expansion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PharmaVite<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meta\u2019s second campus<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Power and data infrastructure projects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supporting datacenters, including behind-the-meter generation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the visit was also valuable for sharing experiences with other markets across the country and for his own perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that on days when the weather allows, walking jobsites in boots and a hard hat remains one of the most rewarding parts of the role.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why NABTU visits: member surveys, safety and what workers want<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferenc asked whether these visits are typical and what NABTU is trying to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the strategy includes direct interaction with members and collecting feedback through quick online surveys shared via QR codes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said the surveys focus on issues that matter to members, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Safety and jobsite protections<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How organized jobsites are<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Schedules and working conditions<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Working in the elements<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the goal is consistent with what members want most: a safe job, good wages and benefits and the ability to go home at night and be with their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also noted that Central Ohio\u2019s boom is attracting travelers from across the country, including from areas where the job market is slower.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Workforce development: monthly meetings, mapping projects and organizing now<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second segment, Ferenc asked about workforce development, noting that the region will need more workers for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the council\u2019s affiliated unions are referring apprentices, journeymen and travelers to projects that are just breaking ground, and that some projects will run for 8 to 12 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said Eli Wenzel, who leads outreach and the Building Futures Apprenticeship Readiness Program, is helping coordinate workforce development meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the meetings are held on the <\/span><b>second Wednesday of every month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and include business managers, agents and organizers from around Central Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said the Council is focusing on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Outreach in schools and communities<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>On-site organizing on active projects<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Project mapping and manpower forecasting<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said organizers are using a mapped view of projects in western Licking County to plan jobsite visits and identify open-shop work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He pointed to the airport as an example of a large project likely to involve significant non-union participation and said organizers intend to be consistently present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager also said the current climate is ideal for organizing because workers can be organized and placed quickly, sometimes within a day, onto projects that may last years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Guidance counselors on the jobsite: showing what modern construction looks like<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said that after a workforce development meeting, he and Sheet Metal Workers representative Scott Hill visited the Vantage site, where Turner hosted about 35 high school guidance counselors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the tour helped counselors see the scale and professionalism of modern jobsites, including improvements such as heated lunch areas, heated restrooms and paved parking lots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that firsthand exposure helps counselors better explain the opportunities in the trades to students.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why the shift is accelerating: college cost, better conditions and strong wages<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferenc noted that schools appear to be waking up to the value of the trades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said the shift is being driven by three factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The rising cost of college and student debt<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improved jobsite conditions and technology<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The wages and benefits available after completing an apprenticeship<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager shared a statistic he said illustrates the college pipeline reality: out of nine students who attend college, seven return after freshman year, five graduate and two work in the field tied to their degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He contrasted that with the trades, where apprentices can top out in their early 20s, earning strong wages with no college debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Closing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager said Central Ohio\u2019s construction machine \u201ckeeps rolling\u201d and that the council\u2019s priority is ensuring the workforce is ready to meet demand while continuing to improve jobsite standards and expand opportunity for working families.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Listen to AWF<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span
