Last week we told you CB&M is a workforce hospitality company. But who's the workforce?
Mostly, it's the oil and gas industry. Crews who come to the Uintah Basin to do the work that keeps our local economy running.
You know the Basin. You know that when oil is good, things here are good. When oil slows down, we all feel it. The workers who come here to extract it are a huge part of why our local businesses stay busy. They buy groceries here, gas up here, eat here, spend here.
CB&M makes sure they have somewhere comfortable to stay while they do it. That's who we're built for: workers who need a home base in the Basin. They're not staying for a weekend or a vacation, but for days, weeks, or months at a time.
We got some comments last week about CB&M buying up the Basin and pushing locals out. We want to address that directly, because we think it's one of the biggest misconceptions about what we do.
The crews coming here to work are coming regardless. The work is here. Without businesses like CB&M, every crew coming in buys or leases their own properties in the area. Then those properties might sit empty for months when they're between jobs.
Instead, we're able to rotate multiple crews through the same units. We might have three companies rotating through a single townhome. That's one CB&M property taking the place of three. It's less strain on the local housing market, not more.
We know that can look confusing from the outside, which is exactly why we're doing this series. Stay with us.
