  Steve Opper Retirement

  

  WIELAND would like to thank and congratulate Steve Opper on his retirement from WIELAND this week. Steve joined WIELAND in 2005 and has spent the last 20 years filling the pipeline with strategic construction opportunities. Steve ultimately became a partner and was Vice-President for New Business Development. In an era of “come-and-go” employees, Steve was the epitome of consistency, often opening the office at 7am and always methodically managing the pursuit of new businesses, locally, regionally, and nationally. His talent, kindness, and self-deprecating sense of humor will be greatly missed. We wish Steve and his wife, Faith, all the best in retirement.

  Teal Jones Sawmill

  

  In December, WIELAND will complete the Teal Jones Sawmill in Plain Dealing, LA. Teal Jones, a 70-year-old family-owned business and the largest privately held forest products company on Canada’s west coast is expanding its operations in the U.S. with this new mill.
