Growing demand for Central Texas construction workers

It's become commonplace to see construction on Interstate 35 in Central Texas, but now building projects are popping up along the busy highway as well.

"Construction business comes and goes and right now we're in a boom so it's good for us," construction superintendent Tom Ceravole said.

Ceravole and his crew are building another new restaurant in Temple.

Growing communities all over Central Texas also mean the construction force is growing as well.

For Ceravoles crew to work this time of year is actually a sign of how busy they are.

"Normally it's a slow time of year, he said. Within the last couple years, business has been starting to pick up."

And his company won't have to look for work anytime soon.

"We're booked probably for the next year to two years," he said.

Officials say the construction field in Central Texas will continue to flourish along with the communities.

"We've seen an increase every single year in the construction area, or the construction field," Tom Elmore with the Workforce Solutions of Central Texas, said.
