Alpine Environmental is now Federal SBA WOSB certified
Chelmsford, MA Alpine Environmental, a leading provider of asbestos and lead paint abatement, is now officially Federal SBA WOSB certified.
This certification follows their MA SDO WBE/MBE Certification by the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) which was received a few months prior.
In 2024, newly elected CEO Theresa Hazelrigg, along with Kristen Hettig (Peik), and Leslie Peik, became controlling stakeholders in Alpine Environmental, making the firm a women and minority-owned business.
The Federal SBA WOSB Certification allows Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) to qualify for set-aside contracts in federal contracting opportunities, giving them access to a specific pool of reserved contracts. These set-asides help provide a level playing field for women business owners by offering opportunities that may not be accessible otherwise.
Alpine Environmental is thrilled to embark on this new phase of the company, reaffirming its dedication to clients and embracing strong, collaborative partnerships.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo
Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
