“We’re trying to reach out to the local community so they can understand what the project is about, the timing of the project and how they might be able to participate in the project,” said Mark McClelland, Walbridge group vice president. (Courtesy Marek Dziekonski)
The Detroit construction company had its first supplier outreach meeting in January in Memphis, followed by a similar meeting in March in Jackson, Tennessee, about 45 miles east of the Megasite.
