A skateboard half-pipe was built and installed by SMART SM Local 441’s fourth- and fifth-year apprentices in Mobile, AL, as a community service project for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. SM Local 441 Business Manager Robert Payne said, “we are proud that our apprentices took on this project and did a great job fabricating and erecting it at the site. We are sure that it will provide the skateboard community a lot of fun for years to come.” The project was presented as a gift to the city on May 13, 2016 with Brother Payne and SM Local 441 Training Coordinator Swan Cleveland on hand for the ceremony.
