In the northeastern stretches of the city, a new neighborhood is going up on Odin Drive. A house sits on muddy, rain-soaked ground with workers crawling in and out of every opening. Itâs like an anthill with hardhats.
Inside at the kitchen counter, 43-year-old Markel Pepper shuffles paperwork from a clipboard and calls his crew of five to fill timesheets. Someone hands a pen to the newest member, an 18-year-old Mesa Ridge High School graduate. His name is Isaiah Brown and he loves electrical work.
