Construction Manager John Tobler has become the first Black person in Lee County to be awarded a large, prime construction contract for the School District of Lee County. How will they rise to the historic challenge?
It takes hard work and dedication to break barriers, to pave your own path, to be “the first.” John Tobler, president and co-owner of Tobler construction, knows that very well.
“It’s just a beautiful thing, growing up here, knowing the things that we’ve had to go through in this community and to be a part of bringing jobs back home, keeping the jobs home, and just being a part of increasing the economy right here,” he said.
