Casino building workers
busy with many tasks
Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, concrete fin
ishers and laborers scurry about intent on the
job that is before them.
They are busy laying the foundation - the foot
ings and concrete slab - that will be the base for
the Grand Ronde gaming center.
Jim Houchins, Drake-Kraus Anderson project
engineer, said that the current work force on the
job will expand to over 100 people at the height
of construction.
After the foundation, has been laid, the steel
framework for the building will be erected.
"That will take place in mid March," Houchins
said.
