A century of impact

A Century of Impact

Local 23 elevator constructors installed the Oregon City Municipal Elevator. Built in 1915, and still in service today, it is one of only four municipal elevators in the world and the only “vertical street” in North America.

Charitable Efforts

Local 23 members support as many local and charitable causes as possible. Our two biggest causes are installing lifts in the homes of disabled veterans through A Lift For A Vet and our annual toy drive for Doernbecher’s Children’s Hospital.

The National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP) is responsible for training and educating the members of Local 23. Thanks to NEIEP’s apprenticeship program and continuing education (CE) options, Local 23’s constructors are the most highly-trained and safest professionals in the industry.
