Jim Culkin Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President KBE Building Corp.
Despite an “influx of investment from major NYC area developers into construction here,” Culkin says he doesn’t think Hartford will see a “building boom” like in the early 1980s “anytime soon.” He says the void created by a “definite drop” in public sector work throughout the region is being filled by “a steady industrial market.” KBE recently completed the Niagara water bottling plant in Bloomfield, along with improvements to FedEx distribution centers.
