Cole Epley / World-Herald staff writer wrote:There’s a new chief executive officer at Drake-Williams Steel Inc., but newly anointed boss Jay Stewart isn’t the only employee getting an updated title.
Stewart, 50, is one of a group of about 230 employees across three locations in Omaha and Aurora, Colorado, who are now owners of the 132-year-old, Omaha-based steel fabricator. Omaha landmarks like the First National Tower and TD Ameritrade Park were built around steel fabricated at Drake-Williams.
