The Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council has expanded its jurisdiction to include Iowa and Nebraska, making it one of the largest carpenters' councils in the U.S. with over 57,000 members across five states. This restructuring aims to enhance operational oversight, reduce costs, and improve market competitiveness. General President Douglas McCarron announced the change, which will not affect current collective bargaining agreements.
