Vermont Business Magazine PeakCM Construction has been named a Grand Prize winner of Wolverine’s Project Bootstrap. The nationwide contest run by the premiere work footwear manufacturer asked construction workers to nominate job sites that used creative construction techniques, adhered to rigorous safety protocols, and had a positive impact on its workers and surrounding community. More than 500 nominations were submitted from 25 states. Winooski-based PeakCM won one of only three Grand Prizes, a Site Crash from the Wolverine team.
The Site Crash involves Wolverine executives driving from the company’s headquarters in Rockford, Michigan to Q Burke Mountain Resort, the PeakCM site in East Burke, VT that won the grand prize. Once at Burke, the Wolverine team will give out more than 125 pairs of the company’s new state-of-the-art, safety-toe work boots. They will also provide the entire site with a catered lunch, as well as Wolverine gear.
“This is a big deal,” remarked Jerry Davis PeakCM’s founder and president. “This team has been working on the Q Burke Hotel for close to 18 months, and they’ve been tireless and committed to delivering the project on time. To have one of their colleagues nominate them for this (award), and then to win it is huge. They’re on their feet all day and to receive a free pair of top-of-the-line work boots from arguably the country’s best work-boot manufacturer is a big nod to all of their efforts.”
PeakCM subcontractor Windham Millworks nominated the 180,000-square foot project. The Maine-based woodworking company specializes in custom cabinetry, framing and countertops.
PeakCM began work on the Q Burke Hotel and Conference Center in June of 2014. The $50 million facility consists of a 116-suite hotel, a conference center, a base lodge, pub, restaurant, ski/snowboard rental center, and a café and retail outlet. The site has employed close to 400 workers from around the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, one of the most unemployed areas of the state. The Site Crash will be on Wednesday, September 30.
