The Rebuild SoCal Zone Podcast launched in October 2020 and was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rebuild witnessed an emerging opportunity to convene industry leaders for thoughtful discussions about ongoing gaps in the region’s infrastructure, up-and-coming regional projects, and more. The Rebuild SoCal Zone Podcast educates the public on infrastructure investment needs while highlighting projects well-positioned to improve our local economy and quality of life in Southern California.
New episodes are available monthly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
Jon Switalski, Rebuild SoCal Partnership’s Executive Director, joined as our host in December 2021. Rebuild is on a mission to engage elected officials and educate the public on the growing need for infrastructure funding, leading to thousands of career construction jobs supporting families across our region.
