Crane operator Kenny Loch by MIMI MONTGOMERY
If you drive past one of the many construction cranes looming over the Raleigh skyline, there’s a chance the tiny speck you see in the cab is tower crane operator Kenny Loch.
Loch is one of the thousands of people transforming the Raleigh skyline, most recently helping to construct the luxury apartment building being built by developer Gordon Grubb and Stiles Residential Group at Oberlin Road and Glenwood Avenue. The number of tower cranes needed for that project and many more is booming: Last spring, U.S. Census Bureau data showed the Raleigh metro area is the 16th fastest-growing in the nation.
