Local opportunities for jobs in construction and the trades for workers who are representative of the community are out there during what a local contractor calls an exciting and transformative time for New Bedford.
Kathryn Pray, director of strategic initiatives for D.F. Pray General Contractors, said Tuesday’s SouthCoast Job Fair at the site of the former Keystone building in downtown New Bedford, where a mixed use 45-unit apartment building is planned, will hopefully result in new opportunities.
At least 100 people attended the job fair, and she shared her optimism over seeing so many people having thoughtful conversations with the 12 companies and organizations represented.
She said D.F. Pray is proud to be a part of the local New Bedford community and has been building in the city for over 30 years. The general contractor has had a New Bedford office for over a decade and provides its services regionally and nationally.
