owns Franklin Park-based
DCH Construction & Hau-
ling, which moves material to
and from construction sites.
DCH is currently working
under its largest deal since
its inception in 2014, a half-
million-dollar contract with
mega-developer Sterling Bay
on its Lincoln Yards develop-
ment.
Lincoln Yards is branded
"Where Chicago Connects"
and consists of over 50 acres
of land bridging the Buc-
ktown, Wicker Park, and Lin-
coln Park neighborhoods. The
new infrastructure is projected
to develop in phases over ten
years and create approxima-
tely 10,000 construction jobs
during the process.
Of those jobs, Sterling Bay
has expressed a commitment to
ensuring the inclusion of tradi-
tionally marginalized communi-
ties with about 30 percent parti-
cipation from minority busines-
ses and 10 percent from women
business enterprises, according
to a recent report presented
before the Department of Plan-
ning & Development.
"I always say diversity is a
verb, not a noun, and it has to be
measurable," said Keiana Barrett,
Director of Diversity & Strategic
Development at Sterling Bay.
