Webinars Scheduled to Discuss Issue of Wood First Initiative, Effect on Ready Mix Industry

There is a strong movement in many states to legislate the use of wood over other building materials for state-funded projects. The effects of this legislation are potentially devastating to the concrete industry. NRMCA will introduce a strategy to stem the adoption of more Wood First legislation in your region during a Webinar scheduled for Wednesday, July 3 and repeated on Tuesday, July 30. Join NRMCA’s Tien Peng, senior director of sustainability, codes and standards, for this informative one-hour Webinar covering the history of the Wood First movement, the battle over wood certifications and legislative talking points for the industry. Past NRMCA Chairman Henry Batten will update Webinar participants on the current legislative skirmish in North Carolina.
