MICHAEL L. CLOWSER EDITOR

C.R. Neighborgall is a fourth generation contractor and the third Neighborgall to serve as CAWV President. He worked tirelessly this year to increase the CAWV’s influence through increased membership and by working to help gain passage of the $2.8 billion highway funding package. He was interviewed for this article in the Board Room of Marshall University’s Brad D. Smith Foundation Hall, a $9 million, 32,200 square-foot facility that is just one of the many signature projects built by The Neighborgall Construction Company of Huntington.

“Even in these tough economic times we have managed to increase membership, which is not only financially necessary, but speaks to the service and influence our association provides its members. We saw more committee involvement from the Young Contrac- tors Forum thanks to the leadership of Josh Booth of Highway Safety, Inc.

“After an arduous battle during a pro- tracted legislative session we were able to secure highway funding, one of the few bright spots in this year’s legislative session,” he said. One of the Neighborgall family’s first projects involved transporting 120 military duplex housing units on barges for a 577-mile trip on the Ohio River.

The West Virginia Legislature finished its special session Friday, June 16, after a 60-day legislative session and a 21-day special session. For the first time in years, legislators passed a number of bills supporting increases in transportation infrastructure funding in West Virginia. The bills culminate years of work by the Contractors Association of West Virginia, West Virginians for Better Transportation and many others to adequately fund West Virginia’s road and bridge maintenance and construction program.
