Bazan Honored

Bazan “was always willing to take on a project and complete it, pick up where help was needed and lead by setting the example,” said McLaughlin, of Austin Construction Co., Summerville, SC. “I found that it was good for me to have a person that didn’t want to take the easy way and that would ask questions.”
