U.S. Customs and Border Protection selected four vendors to build concrete prototypes for President Donald Trump’s promised border wall between the U.S. and Mexico Thursday.
Caddell Construction Co. of Montgomery, Alabama; Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. of Tempe, Arizona; Texas Sterling Construction Co. of Houston; and W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Co. of Philadelphia, Mississippi; will build prototypes of their designs for the wall at a location near San Diego. Construction may begin next month and will take 30 days.
