One comment you often hear from members of the construction is “they didn’t want a job sitting behind a desk all day.” That was one motivation for Kevin Hurley, owner of Magnolia Underground Construction, Inc., our October General Contractor in the spotlight.  Hurley started with a small crew in 2009 and has used his engineering degree and problem-solving skills to grow his business. He bought out the partners of Magnolia Underground Construction in 2010, and has grown from six employees and a few machines, to now typically running four crews and around 30 employees. Magnolia Underground Construction mostly works on municipal utility projects but also does some commercial and residential subdivision work. Recently, they partnered with another AGC member in our West Tennessee Region, W&T Contracting Corporation, to obtain a subcontract from Walbridge, the General Contractor for the BlueOval City site in West Tennessee.  We are so glad to have them as a member company.  Reach out to Kevin today!
