One must apply before you can get a job.

One must apply and qualify.  The qualifications are pretty stiff, like having a valid driver's license, passing a drug test, etc.  I know some young men that need a job but don't come up to the standards required to work on this project.

We were told the road construction is taking place now, and I believe it because while we were in Howard this past weekend, the big gravel truck traffic was constant in front of our house going back and forth down Washington.  I know no other details.............
