U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt visited Harrison Construction’s Tuscaloosa job site at DCH Regional Medical Center on Monday.
Aderholt (R-Haleyville) made the visit as part of the 2024 Associated Builders and Contractors of Alabama Congressional Hard Hat Tour. The tour allows Alabama’s federal delegation to visit active job sites and gain firsthand knowledge of the state’s construction industry.
During his tour, Aderholt spoke with industry leaders and frontline construction workers about the construction industry’s issues.
“I have always been a supporter of ABC and builders like Harrison Construction that follow the philosophy of the merit-based shop,” he said. “I was excited to see some of the work that Harrison is doing at DCH Medical Center that will directly benefit the health of my constituents in the Fourth Congressional District.”
“It’s always good for elected leaders to see first-hand these projects and the people who are making them happen.”

Harrison Construction’s President Tim Harrison said Aderholt has played a vital role in protecting commercial construction within the state.
“Congressman Aderholt has been a friend to ABC and our industry from day one. Our industry has a $17 Billion impact on Alabama, and he gets that. Commercial construction is currently being crippled by regulatory overreach and burdensome legislation, and the Congressman has been front and center fighting for us.”
During the tour, delegation members will also meet with industry leaders and frontline construction workers to craft forward-thinking solutions that promote the industry’s advancement.
