Workshop to Highlight Business Opportunities Related to Cove Point Plant Expansion
The Calvert County Department of Economic Development and the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to provide a workshop on Thursday, Jan. 30, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. for small business owners who want to take advantage of opportunities presented by the proposed expansion of Dominion Cove Point.
The workshop will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Solomons. It is free, but participants can register by emailing stephejt@co.cal.md.us or calling 410-535-4583 The event will be beneficial for contractors who want to get involved with the expansion project; vendors of construction products; and businesses offering services that might be useful during the construction.
If the Dominion Cove Point expansion project is approved it is expected to bring approximately 3,000 jobs to Maryland at the peak of construction and promises to be one of the largest construction projects in Maryland's history. Dominion has hired IHI/Kiewit Cove Point, a joint venture of IHI E&C and Kiewit Energy Company, as its engineering, procurement and construction contractor.
A website, www.1covepoint.com, was created by IHI/Kiewit for suppliers, subcontractors, construction product retailers and local businesses that would like the opportunity to work with IHI/Kiewit on the project.
