Things are heating up in spite of cold winter blast. The February newsletter catches up on some great announcements and new beginnings in the industrial, residential, health care, and commercial/retail sectors. We also take a look at the FCRA 2020 annual report and all the progress that took place in spite of a challenging global economy. Lookout 2021, here we come with gusto!
