DOTHAN, AL — Brasfield & Gorrie recently celebrated the topping out of the Wiregrass Innovation Center, honoring a significant milestone in the development of the research facility in Dothan, Alabama. The event pays tribute to the construction team’s work to reach the facility's full height.
The Wiregrass Innovation Center will be a research and innovation hub that makes Dothan a destination for entrepreneurial and research talent. The advancements made will benefit communities beyond the city.
“As the Wiregrass Innovation Center tops out, we celebrate the hard work that brought us here,” said Bill Steed, a Vice President and Division Manager at Brasfield & Gorrie. “The construction team’s work is an important step in building a new scientific frontier for the region.”
Several additional projects are underway and upcoming across Dothan. Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor for enhancements to Dothan’s historic opera house, the development of Porter Park and its events plaza, and the upcoming City Hall project, which is set to begin in the second quarter of the year.
“We are excited about all of the progress in downtown Dothan," Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba said. "We are eager to see several of these projects come to completion and others start to come out of the ground. We’re really proud of the progress being made for our citizens.”
