Wacker Neuson representatives were on hand at the June 17, 2009 ground breaking ceremony of Alaska's Goose Creek Corrections Center. The $240 million project, located near Point MacKenzie, AK, is the largest building construction project for the state in recent history. The 435,000 sq.-ft. medium security facility will house over 1,500 inmates and is scheduled to be completed in late 2011. The project is expected to create about 700 construction jobs and approximately 400 full time jobs once construction is complete.
General contractor for the project is Anchorage based Neeser Construction, Inc. Todd Christifulli, national sales manager, and Dan Sheridan, metro jobsite specialists for Wacker Neuson, attended the ground breaking ceremony. Christifulli says, "Wacker Neuson is excited to be part of this project. Neeser Construction expects to use a large variety of Wacker Neuson construction equipment on the job. A mobile generator will be powering the job site trailer and a wide range of Wacker Neuson products will be used throughout the entire construction process."
