Atlanta, GA – PC Construction, among the nation’s largest employee-owned construction companies, today announced the Top 10 nonprofits for its first 2017 “Building Communities” giving program. The organizations, which all support the Metro Atlanta Community, were selected by the company’s nearly 1,200 employee-owners.
