DALLAS—Newly hired Suffolk Dallas general manager Mark Penny says construction is continuing on public sector work, which is using lower costs and public facility downtime to its advantage. These projects dovetail with his professional passion: observing the building process and sharing the end results with the community.
"Small or large, buildings shape communities," Penny said. "My favorite projects have been the ones where I was part of the process from the very beginning, saw the vision for the project take shape in everyone's minds, helped to develop that dream and then was a part of delivering that dream. The ultimate satisfaction is driving by a project we built and being able to tell my kids I was part of making it happen."
Today, this work is continuing on project sites with a greater emphasis on hygiene and safety, Penny says.
