The following is a business column from Construction Business TV.
Construction is rapidly moving forward on the long-awaited Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls. Bateman-Hall Construction has endured chilly working conditions the last few weeks but warmer days are ahead.
The ground was broken on the 48,000-square-foot building in May and construction got underway a short time later. The facility is mostly enclosed at this point, which has made it easier for working hands to stay warm. The goal early on was to get the space enclosed before winter so that construction could continue during inclement weather.
Despite not being fully contained, Rob Spear, Executive Director for the Idaho Falls Auditorium District, says the project is coming along nicely and will be a great facility for people to host conferences, trade shows and other events.
