| | UA Local 246 History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Organized in Fresno in 1901, roughly a generation after the city was founded in 1872, UA Local 246 has played a significant role in the bricks-and-mortar construction of the area from its early days. |
 | | One of the many projects that UA Local 246 has played an important part in the construction of is the Balsam Meadows hydroelectric plant at the John S. Eastwood Power Station at Shaver Lake, located 40 miles northeast of Fresno. |
 | | The new facility, costing one and one-half million dollars, was paid for the day the facility opened, thus showing that UA Local 246 reflects the union's long and fruitful history and the organization's future place in the Fresno community and that it expects to remain a critical part of the San Joaquin Valley construction industry. |
