Board endorses Bergland Construction as partner for Nature and Event Center design
Summary
The capital campaign committee reported $110,000 committed in donations and the board voted to name Bergland Construction as the general-contractor partner to help finalize designs and speed permitting and fundraising.
The parks capital campaign committee reported $110,000 in committed donations toward the Nature and Event Center and recommended engaging Bergland Construction as the general‑contractor partner to help finalize designs and accelerate permitting. The committee emphasized the need for engineered drawings and a general contractor to show funders progress and avoid further year‑long delays in the permitting cycle.
"...make a motion to the board to officially choose Bergland Construction as a partner, as a general contractor partner to work with us in moving forward the nature of that center," the Committee member said when making the motion. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor, recording yes responses during roll call.
Board members said bringing a contractor on board now could shorten the interval between funding rounds and visible construction milestones, making it easier to retain donors and leverage in‑kind or at‑cost services from partners.
