Building Inspector Paul Sutherland will be holding a free, public general contractor’s course at the Carnegie Library. The first class is on Wednesday, July 2 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Classes will be every Wednesday at the same time for six weeks in Meeting Room 1 of the Library Annex.
“Many areas in the country, state and our city are seeing a shortage of licensed, qualified contractors. In Eureka Springs, we have good general contractors, sub-contractors and specialty contractors, we just need more. I feel that there are some very talented individuals who will make excellent contractors but need guidance through the process of the required testing to obtain the necessary license for their chosen specialty. I feel the class will be designed to guide individuals through the study course, testing materials and other requirements the State sets forth to obtain their license.” Paul Sutherland
