The Association for Construction Careers, Education and Support Services (ACCESS) Board of Directors decided to cease operations effective February 12, 2014.
In March 2004, the Regional Economic Review Council (ERC) was convened by Metro in partnership with the St. Louis Minority Business Council and the St. Louis Business Diversity Initiative. Out of the ERC, ACCESS was formed to address issues related to inclusion in the area construction industry.
James Webb, treasurer of ACCESS, said, “While the region still has many challenges ahead, the Board of ACCESS determined that the other groups in the St. Louis region have sharpened their focus and are doing great work in this area.”
