SandBoxBlogs: Vail Daily "Avon firm is selected for Walgreens project"

Congratulations to Evans Chaffee!!  Believe it or not, local contractors never get as fair of a shake in bidding local government contracts as outside the area contractors do.

Breaking that glass ceiling is almost under of.  This is terrific news and we're so glad to see a local firm land the new Walgreens over in Avon.

Randy Wyrick:
"AVON, Colorado — Developers of Eagle's proposed Eagle River Station chose a local company to build their Walgreens project in Avon.

Avon's new Walgreens will be built by Evans Chaffee.

The lender wanted a Front Range firm, said Trinity RED's Vince Riggio.

But Riggio said his firm felt strongly that the job should go to the local company.

“Trinity RED will do everything possible to give work to local companies,” Riggio said. “We chose Evans Chaffee because they're local and we know how many local people need work.”

They broke ground this week on their Walgreens project, Riggio said. It will replace Denny's in Avon.

It's scheduled for completion in October....."
