We are grateful for the Transit Center projects. We were awarded a nine proint 2 Million Contract and hoist for the project and we pursued this project and built with other veterans at the outreach events of the tjpa.

They want to go to work every day, and they want to have parts in the bin where they can repair the thing that they are entrusted with, they want to be able to drive it or fly it or sail it and feel confident that they are on a winning team.
