West Virginia Construction News
West Virginia Construction News is the official magazine of the Contractors Association of West Virginia and has been "The Voice of Construction in the Mountain State" for 87 years.
Our bi-monthly publication reaches a pass-along readership of more than 3,000. The readership consists of building, heavy, highway, and utility contractors; engineers and architects; legislators; federal, state, and local government employees; suppliers of goods and services to the construction industry; and others directly or indirectly associated with the construction industry. Each issue contains current federal and state construction issues and features CAWV members and member activities. The association is always looking for projects to feature and examples of members using the “Hard at Work” logo. Advertising opportunities are available for members and non-members.
