Black Enterprise - Black construction companies may reap a windfall from
helping build the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), a project that will cost
about $350 million.
Those businesses - the Presidential Partners consortium of
Powers & Sons Construction, UJAMAA Construction, Brown & Momen, and
Safeway Construction - are part of the Lakeside Alliance joint venture chosen
by the Obama Foundation to serve as the construction manager for the OPC to be
built on Chicago’s South Side. Turner Construction, one of the nation’s largest
construction managers, is part of the alliance.
