The old Branch Village was built in 1941 and named for Dr. Clement T. Branch, a prominent physician and the first African-American to serve on Camden's school board. Its red brick homes looked like barracks, and it, like much of the Centerville neighborhood around it, fell into disrepair over the years. The U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development in 2016 gave the city a $13.2 million Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant to revitalize the corridor in Centerville, just off Ferry and Mount Ephraim avenues.

According to a recent study by the Beacon Hill Institute, New Jersey schools
built under controversial government-mandated project labor agreements inflated costs by 16.25%, or
$57.84 per square foot, compared to schools that were bid and constructed without PLAs. New Jersey
taxpayers would have saved $565.1 million, or more than $7.1 million per project, in 2018 prices if PLAs
had not been used.

Brad Lowry with the North Jersey Record writes: "Yes, we all know infrastructure is a long and lingering problem, and all too easy to forget about. Certainly, when emergency strikes, as with the ongoing Newark city water crisis, our political leaders say all the right things, express proper indignation and vow to make it right.
And then, little by little, these major infrastructure holes get patched over or put off until the next term — someone else's next term — and the result is that little, if anything, ever gets done about them."

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a biohybrid robot powered by neuromuscular tissue that responds to light. Biohybrid robots are the result of integrating synthetic material and living tissue such as muscle, nerves or bone to produce a device that is capable of independent motion. The addition of neuronal action to control muscle tissue represents a significant step forward in the quest for autonomous biobots.

U.S. construction spending edged up a disappointing 0.1% in August as continued weakness in nonresidential construction offset the best gain in home building in nine months.
The latest figure marked the fourth month of lackluster results, including declines in May and June and a flat reading in July, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Construction in April had risen 0.6%.

If the human resources experts who we spoke to agreed on anything, it's this: HR departments may be missing the boat if they've waited until now to plan for changes to federal overtime regulations.
The U.S. Department of Labor began the journey to update the Fair Labor Standards Act's salary threshold overtime exemption for certain white-collar professionals an administration ago when it attempted to raise the threshold to $47,476 in 2016.

Contractors take on more design responsibilities on projects using new delivery methods. But along with the new influence, comes new risks.
New project delivery methods are reshaping the role of the contractor. Throughout most of the 20th Century, design-bid-build was the standard way of running projects. This model relied on architects working with the owner under separate contract for the design phase. From there, the project was put out for bid to contractors to do the building.

September may be Suicide Prevention Month, but employers need to focus on workers’ mental health year-round. This is especially true in the construction industry.
