I am a commercial flooring subcontractor in Florida. I really want to diversify to make myself more valuable. I called the state to see what licenses I can get and there are literally zero. Does anyone have any advice? Any licenses I can earn they may not realize I'd be interested in/qualified for?

I have the education required but have never worked directly for a GC so I do not meet the prerequisite to earn a GC license. I do not see myself changing paths and growing into a foreman role for a GC so again, I do not meet the GC license requirements. I really want to learn as much as I can about construction but there does not appear to be any further education available in my field.

They mentioned structural, electric, concrete, etc but those are completely foreign to me and are too specific to ever help me unless I change fields in the future. This is my company so I will be in this industry for the indefinite future.

If I cannot earn a license, are there any courses I should look towards to at least expand my knowledge base? Flooring is pretty specific so I am not sure what I can specifically bring to the table to stand out from my competition.

Raleigh N.C. 540 outer loop faces environmental legal fight

The map above shows the 540 extension’s general location. Credit: NCDOT Environmental groups have filed a petition challenging the planned path of a future outer loop around Raleigh, North Carolina, due to concerns about the effect on nearby waterways that are home to endangered mussels. The $2.2 billion toll highway, an extension of N.C. 540, would complete the southern portion of an expressway outer loop. The construction contract for the first phase was awarded in December , and the N.C. Division of Water Quality recently issued an environmental permit for the project. The Southern Environmental Law Center , along with other environmental groups, is petitioning for an administrative hearing to challenge the environmental permit. The SELC says the proposed highway would “tear through 57,000 linear feet of streams and 70 acres of wetlands.” The groups are also concerned about increased stormwater runoff from the additional pavement from the highway, as well as more greenhouse em...
