Editor’s Note: Local media was out  to cover the action on this year’s Construction Forum “Yeah I Built That” construction career event. Normally held at St. Louis Development Corporation’s Northside Economic Empowerment Center, located in Sumner High School, the event was forced by tornado damage to pivot to tents erected in the parking lot of a Central West End Church.

From KMOV:  High schoolers in our area are getting a chance to preview careers in the world of construction in an area that is getting ready to rebuild following the May tornado.

The Construction Forum hosted its annual career fair in the parking lot of the First Unitarian Church off Waterman in the Central West End, just blocks from where those storms left major damage behind. Today (June 18) students got a chance to look at multiple careers in the construction industry at a time when the industry is looking for help.
