Fishbeck demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship by achieving Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) Conservation Certification for its office headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joining only a few other corporate landholdings in West Michigan. Fishbeck implemented habitat improvements at its Grand Rapids headquarters, located on 14 acres, including forested wetlands. “The Grand Rapids, Michigan office headquarters is recognized as meeting the strict requirements of WHC Conservation Certification,” said Margaret O’Gormon, President, WHC. “Companies achieving WHC Conservation Certification, like Fishbeck, are environmental leaders, voluntarily managing their lands to support sustainable ecosystems and the communities that surround them.”
Fishbeck is excited to share that Special Olympics Michigan Inc. is planning to start construction on the second phase of its Unified Sports and Inclusion Center, which will be the largest Special Olympics facility in the world. The outdoor athletic complex and fields groundbreaking is expected to take place in June, and the project is slated to be completed in March 2024. Fishbeck has been working on a collaborative team with Mathison and Mathison Architects and others to realize SOMI’s vision for a world-class practice and competition facility for the athletes.
Funding has become a critical consideration in the implementation of major infrastructure improvements. The recent allocation of the American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have further ignited these conversations at the local level as entities compete for limited resources.
