Now that 2025 has come to a close, we look back on an extraordinary year for APG. The Tampa Bay construction market continues to surge with opportunity, creating stronger wages, better benefits, and improved working conditions for those in the trades. With that growth has come a year filled with accomplishments, and we are proud to highlight a few that have helped shape our momentum and strengthen our community.
In 2025, APG celebrated the completion of multiple major commercial projects, including BayCare’s Plant City Replacement Hospital, AdventHealth Riverview, Universal Epic Universe Back-of-House facilities, several Tampa International Airport improvements, the Opal Sol Hotel, Acadia Behavioral Health Facility, the Bernie McCabe Second District Court of Appeal Courthouse, and the AdventHealth North Pinellas Fire Alarm Replacement. Countless other projects across the region were delivered with the same high standards of quality and workmanship that define our teams.
This year also marked another milestone in safety performance, achieving record-low incident rates and rolling out enhanced training programs that elevated our already strong safety culture. Our commitment to protecting one another continues to set the standard for best practices in the industry.
Investment in our workforce remained at the forefront, with expanded apprenticeship programs, continuing education opportunities, and leadership development paving the way for future electricians, technicians, estimators, and project managers. This focus ensures a skilled and prepared workforce to sustain the growth ahead.
Looking forward into 2026, the future has never looked brighter. Tampa Bay is poised for continued expansion in healthcare, hospitality, and technology, and APG is ready to deliver the talent and expertise needed to meet it. We are excited to continue working alongside Kelso Industries, our valued partners, clients, and community leaders as we help shape the skyline and strengthen the economic foundation of our region.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and the role you play in our success. Here’s to a safe, productive, and inspiring 2026.
