Children move sand last August as adults fill their shovels to toss the first ceremonial ground last October for the construction of the Magic City Discovery Center.
A pandemic and concerns about funding haven’t stopped construction in the Minot region.
“For us, construction has been strong,” said Dave Schwengler, Minot office manager for Houston Engineering. “The past year was a good year for construction. That was one of the industries that kept working through the pandemic.”
He expects more of the same for 2021.
“There’s a lot of big projects out there right now, even some development work starting to pick back up a little bit,” he said.
