The Mainebiz roundup of all things construction has updates on several projects in southern Maine, and about a well-deserved award for a critical job in Pittsfield.
Two Pittsfield factories will produce a total of 90 million medical swabs to meet demand for coronavirus testing. CARES Act allocations provided a total of $126.6 million for retrofits of the existing facilities.
The chairman of Pittsfield-based Cianbro Corp. was indicted on three criminal charges related to his firing of a small cannon during a Maine Maritime Academy football game in September.
Husson University announced this week that it will confer honorary doctorates on Peter G. Vigue, chairman of the board of Cianbro Cos., and Susan J. Hunter, the University of Maine's first woman president who is retiring on June 30.
The U.S. Department of Labor named Cianbro one of just 57 companies across the country to be recognized under OSHA's Star Mobile Workforce Voluntary Protection Program for its commitment to workplace safety.
