Check out the latest episode of the P3 Project Podcast below.
Episode #10 of the P3 Project Podcast for diverse businesses features an interview with Kenneth Canty, P.E., president and CEO of Atlantic Meridian Contracting (AMC Civil), a DBE firm based in Savannah, Georgia. Canty purchased the company in 2018 after closing down a prior company (Freeland Construction) after facing sabotage and other mistreatment on construction projects in South Carolina and Florida. Canty grew Freeland Construction to over 50 employees while participating in the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program.
However, Canty has not let the prior challenges stop him from moving forward and is growing AMC Civil by completing civil construction and concrete reclamation projects in the Southeastern United States. During this episode of the P3 Project, Canty discusses his approach to business success and overcoming challenges faced as a minority-owned business in the construction industry.
The host for the P3 Project Podcast is Shelton A. Russell, publisher of American DBE Magazine. American DBE Magazine is a digital and print publication helping diverse businesses grow and succeed in the engineering, construction and transportation industries.
