Our Goals
EDUCATE, SUSTAIN, AND PROMOTE THE COMMON INTEREST IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Founded in 1984 by Ed Snell (Tricon), Ben Luster (Luster Contracting), Gordon Nelson (Nelson Pipeline), and Lucky Hurford (SAECO), Tucson Underground Contractors Association represented local contractors only. Years following, the association changed its name to reflect and expand service offerings.
In 2014, TUCA amended its name to be the Arizona Transportation Builders Association (ATB) and remains a nonprofit organization consisting of more than 100 individual businesses and organizations in Southern Arizona.
