Not a lot of consultantx have suchan expertise, he said. “We’re hoping that we can fill that he added. MCS has $100,000 in backlob work. The company expects to be profitable in the first quarterof 2010. Myers said MCS can help companiez that once framedhouses — work that has dried up in the regionn and across the country explore other opportunities, such as public contracts. The stat e wants to build more highway rest for example, he said. Janelle experience in the industry dates back to 1990 when she helpefd starta woman-owned highwayg construction company focused on building barrier rails in Nevada and New Mexico.
She was on the boarsd of directors until the company was sold toRancho Cordova-baser , her husband’s firm, in 2006. Clint Myers worked as an engineer and projecft managerfor C.C.
