Here’s a small-town scooplet: The local general contractors competing to bring the $13 million construction spending here are in the lead for the contract.
Negotiations between the general contractors and staff must conclude before the board of trustees can approve an agreement, but it is a major step forward.
“This will be a $30+ million dollar economic stimulus to Nevada County and surrounding communities,” as Trustee Aaron Klein points out on his blog. “Throughout this process, I’ve been advocating for the best result to keep our local tax dollars local, and our staff has done an incredible job helping to create that outcome.
The Tru-Line Builders / Sierra Foothills Construction / Clark & Sullivan team, a joint venture which is majority owned by the two local firms, is headquartered in Grass Valley.
The runner-up is Rudolph & Sletten, who recently worked on the Sierra College Truckee-Tahoe Campus. This is the first mention of them in the local media or blogs.
I’ve written before about the need for projects such as this to jump start economics.
