Austin Construction Jobs Created by Two Projects
Monday, December 21st, 2009A winning bid by one company for two local contracts will help to create several Austin construction jobs.
The Austin City Council recently awarded two construction contracts worth $12.7 million to Chasco Constructors. This is welcome news to local construction workers and the company, as civil projects are highly coveted in the current economy, mainly because of a lack of commercial and residential construction projects.
According to an article by the Austin Business Journal, the company made the lowest bid, of $6.4 million, to add more overnight parking space for jets at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. That project will require 1,100 truckloads of concrete to pour 10,000 cubic yards. The project, which is expected to begin during spring 2010, will create about 30 jobs and last about a year.
