As part of a community wide effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, members of the CELC (Charlotte Executive Leadership Council) have partnered with Mecklenburg County Government to donate and distribute 2 million masks to citizens in the Charlotte region. From this initiative, 100,000 masks have been slated for the construction industry. The purpose of the partnership is to aid in protecting essential workers and support businesses who may have difficulty securing masks. Marand Builders, a member of the CELC and 4C, has the privilege of distributing the donated masks to small business construction trades in cooperation with Atrium Health.
