Hunt Construction of Indiana builds in Cleveland:
2000 Mayor's Office of Equal Opportunity Contract Compliance Certification of Approval City of Cleveland
A new 150,000 SF graduate level facility which features classrooms, computer rooms, and offices.
A 330,000 GSF, two-basement-level research lab which is six stories above grade. Includes 30,000 SF of vivarium space and Level II & III biological suites.
They plan to donate the construction of a Teen Center in Phoenix [4]. Cool, maybe they would donate the constuction for the Manchester Bidwell effort here in Cleveland. (Let us please, please renovate exisiting buildings -- there are so many with great shells! Yes, including the Inner Circle [5]... )
Even though money flows to the parent corp in this deal it seems far better than the other silver bullets being hawked locally. In the Hunt scenario -- money flows from Cleveland to Indianapolis, but where has to flowed the other way? Looks like we might need some help in the building trades area too if we have to go to Indianapolis for construction companies, but then you have this guy Carbone here who gets the contract and then just let's em rip. (I noted this biznas [7] in a previous post.)
