Rebuilding after Ian could exacerbate supply, labor shortages in state

The massive damage Hurricane Ian inflicted on Southwest Florida will require an influx of building materials and construction labor, which is sure to exacerbate shortages for businesses across the state.due to supply chain shortages and rising labor expenses created challenges for many developers in South Florida.

The situation will be compounded further by the fact that supply chain and construction material markets were complicated even before Hurricane Ian came on the radar. Simonson told the Business Journal that things like concrete shortages slow projects and complications from Hurricane Ian certainly will"aggravate the situation."

That’s not even counting the damage to infrastructure, such as roads and bridges that were washed out, Dyga said, adding that government will make rebuilding infrastructure a top priority, so labor and materials will be allocated to those projects first.
