LM in the Community

LM Construction has a large base of employees from across the spectrum of society. As a company we like to support our employees’ charitable concerns when possible.

As the owner, I have certain causes that are important to me. So giving back to the community, for example, is getting high school and college students within the valley interested in the construction development industry.

Right now we are not filling the ranks with younger people; the average age of a superintendent is 56 years old. So it’s very important for us as a company to give back to the community and start looking and researching how to get people interested in this field.

We also know that there are pockets of the valley that are poverty-stricken, one of which is an area in North Las Vegas that we identify with because we are doing a lot of work in the area.

Food drives are big for us, and we’re doing them every Thanksgiving now, benefiting a local Elementary School. It’s a big boost to us when we know that there is someone going home at night with a meal in their backpack because of us.

It’s important because if you are involved in a community and don’t give back, then all you do is take, someday there may not be something there for you to take. So someone has to give so someone else can receive. If we don’t give, and give to the right areas, those people looking for support and services may not receive them. So it’s important that someone fill that void.
