This work includes the removal of vegetation and trees as needed, as well as slope and channel enhancements to improve channel capacity for this section of the Fanning Wash. This project is part of the “5-year Stormwater Capital Improvements Program” and is scheduled to be complete in summer 2026.

CCC a triple play for construction student

Lucas Giannetti wanted to continue to learn and to grow in the construction trades. He also wanted to land an internship with a local contractor. He also wanted to start his own business doing finishing work on homes.

He found all three at Coconino Community College.

Giannetti learned many construction skills from his father.

“Throughout my childhood, we worked together on home improvement projects on our home,” Giannetti said, adding that although he had basic skills, he didn’t see construction as a viable option due to pressures from school counselors and his parents to pursue a four-year degree. He found a program in Environmental Science in North Carolina – primarily because he loves the outdoors – but while in the program and looking at jobs in the field, Giannetti realized he wouldn’t be able to afford to pay back the debt of a four-year degree.

So, he left university and began traveling the country and getting jobs in the trades.

“I felt like my learning was slowing down,” Giannetti said. “I wanted to expand my opportunities for learning.”
