| The year was 1938. America was pulling itself out of a severe depression. Lou Gehrig captained the New York Yankees to a pennant victory. And while Joe Louis was punching his way to the heavyweight championship, a former professional boxer named William M. Abel was applying his competitive spirit to his newly founded construction company.
Starting a business during the post-depression took courage and determination. And though working gloves replaced boxing gloves, William Abel never lost his competitive spirit – a spirit that would lead his modest concrete construction company to become one of the most respected general contractors in the region.
Now, over a half century later, Abel Construction Company has proven to be a leading contender for both commercial and industrial construction projects. Furthermore, the competitive spirit of this full-service construction firm is stronger than ever! |
