Please join me in welcoming 2 new members to the Bobcat team. Tom Dill has joined Bobcat as our CEO and Dave Bergquist will be our new head of engineering and construction. Both Tom and Dave have extensive, proven storage development and construction experience. Their addition to the Bobcat team shows our dedication to having the best possible team to build a safe and reliable facility and to meet the needs of the local community and our customers.
Bobcat is moving ahead with the last stage of development before we start construction. Although it may not look like we are busy; behind the scenes we are finalizing engineering drawings, evaluating and ordering equipment, developing our plan for construction and getting commitments from our future customers.
You will start to see our team more in the local community providing updates, supporting local events and obtaining the local permits that we will need to complete our project. Please let us know of any local upcoming events and festivals—we want to start becoming a more active part of the local community. As always, let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Community Open House Planned
Our next Open House will be held from 6:00-7:30 on Thursday, October 26th at The Chicken King Meeting Hall. Bobcat representatives will provide an update on the project and information on future jobs and contract opportunities. We will send out invitations, run a meeting notice in the newspaper and post the meeting details in the local area. If you want to receive details on the open house, contact Bobcat at our website at www.bobcatstorage.com.
Did you Know?
More homes in the United States are heated with natural gas than any other energy sources.
Question of the Month
What is the best way to contact Bobcat regarding future construction jobs and permanent jobs?
Bobcat will hire contractors to oversee many different aspects of our facilities construction. Most of the temporary construction jobs will be managed by these contractors. The contractors will be responsible for “staffing” up their individual crews—and will make the final decisions on hiring. As we have stated from the beginning, Bobcat is committed to hiring locally and will encourage all of our contractors to use this same approach. Bobcat will hire directly for the permanent jobs at our facility and will utilize the web site to provide more detailed information on job availability and the timing for these jobs. At the open house, Bobcat will have a table where a Bobcat representative can answer your questions on future employment.
