We are excited to announce that MCO Construction and Services, Inc., in collaboration with Kaufman Lynn Construction and other local firms, has successfully won the bid for several fire stations in Riviera Beach. The project, valued at $18,973,701, marks another significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to the Riviera Beach community.

Ann McNeill, our NABWIC founder and CEO of MCO Construction and Services, Inc., expressed her deep gratitude to the City of Riviera Beach Council for entrusting the team with this pivotal project. "I am so humbled and honored to be part of the team that has won the contract to build Firestation 86. This project is not just about constructing a building but about building lives, families, and communities," Ann remarked.

This project continues the legacy of MCO Construction and its commitment to enhancing community infrastructure, following the successful completion of Fire stations 87 and the award-winning Fire Station 88. The involvement of local and minority-owned businesses has been a key focus, with participation growing from 37% in previous projects to over 50% in recent endeavors.

Ann McNeill, a Riviera Beach native and the first Black female contractor in the State of Florida to engage at this level, emphasizes the importance of these projects for local businesses, especially Black-owned enterprises, which may not typically have the opportunity to work on flagship public projects. "The greatest thing is to drive by and say: I painted that," shared Amon Yisrael from Amon Professional Services, reflecting the profound personal and professional pride that comes with contributing to such meaningful projects.

As we celebrate this new achievement, we look forward to the impact that Fire station 86 will have on the Riviera Beach area—proving that great teamwork indeed makes the dream work. We are committed to continuing our efforts to help build and uplift our community through each project we undertake.
