A
Lieber
is
a
minority-owned
construction
company.
We
were
founded
in
1993
here
in
charlotte
north
carolina
by
our
former
owner,
mr
ron
lieber,
so
the
headquarters
of
lieber
was
established
here
in
charlotte
north
carolina,
the
former
owner
mr
ron
lieber.
He
was
born
and
raised
in
belmont
north
carolina
right
outside
of
charlotte.
He
was
a
former
city
council
member,
and
so
he
made
steak
here
in
charlotte
north
carolina
as
his
headquarters.
I'm
most
proudest
moment
at
rj
libra,
I
would
say,
is
our
workforce
development
program.
A
The
workforce
development
program
is
where
we
team
up
with
various
vineyards,
whether
it's
the
urban
league,
the
united
way
goodwill
and
we
identified
individuals
to
provide
them
with
work
and
they
will
come
and
work
on
our
various
projects.
We
have
been
very
instrumental
in
bringing
in
over
a
hundred
individuals
to
work
on
the
charlotte
airport,
as
well
as
the
charlotte
convention
center.
What.
B
Was
unique
about
those
two
public
projects?
Is
we
put
in
place
an
exhibit
w?
It's
a
contract
requirement
that
the
trade
partners
must
adhere
to
so
they
had
to
adhere
to,
and
the
stipulations
in
our
workforce
development
initiative
then,
was
that
each
contractor
on
the
project
must
hire
one
individual
pay
them
a
living
wage
at
that
time,
what
a
living
wage
was.
A
So
when
you
think
about
the
workforce
development,
we
are
a
state
of
art
when
it
comes
to
workforce
development.
When
we
look
at
our
major
competitors
here
in
charlotte,
they
have
actually
taken
pages
out
of
our
playbook.
So
when
we
say
what
we're
proud
of
leaper
is
truly
proud
of
the
workforce
development
and
the
vision
that
our
former
owner
ron
lieber
had
in
believing
in
the
apprenticeship
and
understanding
the
importance
of
giving
back
to
the
black
and
brown
communities.
