"We bring in some of the local community to sponsor those, like we've had Brothers BBQ on the corner there, we've hired them as our caterer, we're trying to help out. We're trying to encourage everyone who helps out on the project to utilize the businesses here from everything from gas to lunches," said Kraemer North America project manager Mike Mcinish.
