PHOENIX (Jan. 18, 2017) — Justin Kelton, president of McCarthy Building Companies’ Southwest division, was recently elected treasurer of the board of directors for the Support Sky Harbor Coalition, a nonprofit 501(c)4 organization that supports the Sky Harbor community and its neighbors through education, advocacy and outreach.
McCarthy has experience with a number of construction projects at Sky Harbor, including building portions of Terminal 4 and an associated parking structure. More recently, the McCarthy-Kiewit joint venture team completed 0.6 miles of guideway and a single station for the Sky Train project that serves both Terminals 2 and 3 with a pedestrian bridge.
“McCarthy is proud to participate in the Support Sky Harbor Coalition, and we recognize the airport as a vital economic engine here in Phoenix,” Kelton said. “I look forward to the taking on the role of treasurer for the coalition as we start another great year of coalition building.”
Kelton joined McCarthy in 2001 after serving as a U.S. Marine, and he moved into the top leadership role for the Southwest division this year. He earned a Civil and Environmental degree from Vermont Technical College. He is a board member for the Arizona Builders’ Alliance and is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Western Maricopa Coalition (WESTMARC). He also participates in McCarthy Heart Hats, the volunteer-based community outreach arm of McCarthy Building Companies that includes McCarthy employees and their family members who support the communities in which they live, work and play by volunteering for community projects and fundraising efforts.
