GMJG, LLC had waited a long time for this day. The groundbreaking took place on Monday, April 2 on a sunny afternoon. In attendance were Morenci Mayor Jeff Bell, GMJG Partner Lucinda Swinney, her son Zac Swinney, City Councilwoman Susan Pierce, City Councilman Jeff Lampson, City Manager Mike Sessions and Tim Nichols.
The groundbreaking is the first in an industrial park of 65 acres. The GMJG building will cover just over 20,000 square feet including facilities to produce medical marijuana.
Many local residents welcomed the event as a sign of major investment coming to their rural town on the Ohio border. They were looking forward to the expanding services and infrastructure that are already in evidence in the new water main under construction just 100 yards away.
Tim Nichols Architect played a pivotal role in preparing the Site Plan and Construction Documents for the project.
