Business of the Year

People – both customers and employees – voted for Dale Turnley Construction as Business of the Year. Not only heading up his business, Dale has volunteered countless hours for the past several years helping locals navigate rebuilding after the Holiday Farm Fire. More than one said “he always puts everyone else first.”

“The man is a pillar of the community, between all the different boards he’s a part of, the clinic in Blue River, the numerous homes and properties that he’s restored since the fire, I think he really deserves it,” was the way one customer put it. Another noted “his business survived a huge blow when funding for the general store in Blue River stopped flowing. He worked day and night to keep his business and employees afloat after that.”

Another said “this isn’t just a construction company, they build with their heart as well as their hands. They will go above and beyond to make your dreams come to life. They didn’t shy away from the complicated stuff with my project, knowing we would face hurdles the entire way they’ve stuck with us through it all. They do everything they can to utilize local sub contractors, they maintain a local crew, and they build with integrity.”

Another person said “Dale Turnley and his crew did an incredible job building our new McKenzie River Clinic. Dale saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars and delivered top quality work, all while using as many McKenzie Valley subcontractors as possible. Dale also found time to help other local nonprofits figuring out how to rebuild our community. He knows that rebuilding is more than boards and nails. It’s people and relationships too.”

The Leaburg Store was the runner up for Business of the Year. A big thumbs up for them came in recognition of hosting the Bottle Boys and providing space for storage, sorting and pick up of donated beverage containers. “Thank you management and staff at the Store in Leaburg and Happy New Year,” they wrote.
