Wilhelm Construction Co.

With urban revitalization spurring growth in residential and mixed-use facilities, the Indiana construction market is “stable and reflects national trends with growth in life sciences, health care, entertainment and infrastructure,” Kenney says. However, “the industry is continually faced with financial, legislative and regulatory challenges that have a big impact on upcoming workloads.” Kenney says his clients and peers indicate a healthy immediate forecast but a “tightening-of-thebelt” in the near future in terms of types and sizes of projects.
