Local Job and Vendor Fair Postponed

Posted by Bob Gernert on May 12, 2009 at 3:54 pm

TransDevelopment Group and Kearney Construction, the design-build general contract team for the planned intermodal and automotive rail terminal facility in Winter Haven, will postpone their May 20 2009 job fair. The event was scheduled to provide information to the local labor pool and to identify qualified Polk County suppliers and subcontractors interested in work related to the construction of the rail terminal facility.

Immediate construction of the rail terminal facility was needed to accommodate the development of SunRail, Central Florida’s commuter rail system. The Florida Legislature, however, failed to approve SunRail. As a result, the intermodal and automotive rail terminal facility will now be developed on a more deliberate timeline consistent with business demand.

TransDevelopment and Kearney Construction will reschedule the job fair and announce the date and location of the event in the future.

    That’s really a shame. This will be a great project, though, when it is built.
