KA Construction Company lives by its Core Purpose of Building Enduring Relationships and Strong Communities. At the same time, every community is unique. With offices in seven cities across three states, each KA regional office brings its own distinct contributions to the community it calls home, with the result that every KA office is part of the whole, while at the same time wholly a place unto itself. One great example is KA Bemidji, which celebrated the signing of its one-thousandth project in February.
“Reaching the milestone of 1,000 projects is a reflection of the amazing work and dedication of the entire KA team, both past and present, over more than 30 years,” said KA Bemidji VP and DOO Bob Fitzgerald.
“I am so grateful for all of the team members that contributed to this accomplishment. Being a part of this achievement is an honor and privilege,” Fitzgerald said.
