⭐ A HUGE THANK YOU TO STAR RENTALS! ⭐

What an amazing job the Star Rentals crew did at their Customer Appreciation BBQ! 🍔🌭

The crew was busy cooking up burgers and dogs for their customers, and as always, they put on an incredible event! The turnout was fantastic, with people lined up and ready to spin the wheel and win some great prizes!

It’s always great to see a local business show their appreciation for their customers and community.

Nice job, guys! 👏 You knocked it out of the park! Thank you for the great food, fun, and hospitality! Star Rentals

The LCCA spent the day at the CRHS Career & Trades Fair, connecting with students and sharing information about career opportunities in the construction industry.

Despite the rainy weather, there was an excellent turnout of companies from our local community, all coming together to support and inspire the next generation.

Steve James with RLT Construction was on hand throughout the day, engaging students with tool identification and hands-on activities.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event and to help promote future careers in construction.

LCCA hit the ground running this month and hasn't slown down.

We kicked things off recognizing National Safe Digging Month with our 811 Contractors Breakfast, bringing together over 150 attendees—including local municipalities and excavators—to hear important updates on 811 dig law and safety practices. Thank you to our sponsors Cowlitz PUD, Star Rentals, United Rentals, Walker Insurance and Knife River.

From there, it’s been all about training and workforce development. Gearing up for upcoming work we held the following classes:
✔️ Excavation & Trenching Certification
✔️ Confined Space Training
✔️ OSA Certified Flagger Class
✔️ Forklift Training & Aerial Platform Training

We also had the opportunity for our Board Members to meet with Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez to discuss critical workforce development issues impacting our industry.

And we’re not done yet! Next up, you’ll find us at the Castle Rock Career Fair later this month as we continue to invest in the future of our workforce.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up, participate, and support these efforts—we couldn’t do it without you!

LCCA Board of Directors spent the day on Capitol Hill advocating for our industry and the communities we serve. We had productive meetings with Representative McEntire and Senator Wilson to discuss the regulations and policies impacting the building industry and the urgent need to make housing more affordable in Washington.

Board Member Travis Buck also had the opportunity to speak about issues affecting our industry locally, including challenges within Cowlitz County that are impacting builders and development.

We appreciate the time and commitment of our legislators to hear directly from those working on the front lines of housing. LCCA remains committed to being a strong voice for affordable housing and responsible growth.
