Training workers and cutting red tape are two key issues of focus for Chad Goodfellow, CEO, Goodfellow Bros., Wenatchee, Wash., in a new Family Enterprise USA video, hosted by Pat Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA. Goodfellow, interviewed from the 100-year-old company\u2019s Maui office, discusses how the general contracting company grew from its small agriculture roadwork roots to over 300 employees working on government and private sector projects across the Northwest, West, and islands of Hawaii. \u201cOur biggest impediments to growth are permitting issues, especially environmental reviews, both locally and federally,\u201d says Goodfellow in the video. \u201cThe other big challenge for us is transitioning ownership to the next generation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are planning for it, but I fear for what happens when transition time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
