Building the Future of Maine…
In 2008, Nickerson & O’Day completed the new dormitory project at Foxcroft Academy to house their successful international student boarding program. To say thanks and to literally help “build” our next generation of Maine leaders, Karl donated $30,000.00 to create the new Nickerson & O’Day Construction/Engineering Scholarship and asked that it be given to a graduating FA senior headed for a STEM degree in a Maine college or university. On June 11th, the 10th scholarship was awarded from the fund to Colby Garland, a member of FA’s graduating Class of 2017! Congratulations, Colby…and good luck in your engineering career!
Keep Up The Great Work!
This past Friday, Karl made rounds to several of our Nickerson & O’Day projects including our $4M Emergency Room expansion at Downeast Community Hospital in Machias and our $2.5M Hart Hall dormitory renovation at Husson University. Superintendents Lee Bryant and Thomas Umel have each of these difficult projects running well! Keep up the great work, guys!
Annual Meeting of the Cross Insurance Workers Comp Construction Services Group Trust Board
This past Friday, at its Annual Meeting in Augusta, Karl was honored to be voted onto the Cross Insurance Workers Comp Construction Services Group Trust Board for my 4th, 3-year term. Happy to say the group is performing well and just returned significant premium refunds to our 30 members. At that same meeting, Nickerson O’Day was recognized for having ZERO lost time injuries, ranking 3rd best in performance over the 24 years of the group. One of the many reasons why our team is so competitive and successful!
