FAIRFIELD - A construction giant is the latest business to announce plans to move to Fairfield.

Nebraska-based Kiewit Corporation will build an office and administrative center on a 3.37-acre parcel of land on Business Center Drive in the Cordelia area.

The company has submitted plans to the city for review and hopes to start construction 'as soon as possible,' said Curt Johnston, assistant director of economic development.

'Fairfield is a good location if you are working in the north bay and Sacramento,' Johnston said.

At about 32,000 square feet, the building will be larger than Kiewit's current regional office in Concord and will have about another 10,000 square feet of expansion potential. The center will emply about 150 people, though most will work in the field, Johnston said.

Kiewit, which in 2008 had revenue of $6.2 billion, is one of the largest construction firms in the world. It provides construction, engineering and mining services to clients nationwide.

The building will be on the 4700 block, on the opposite side of Business Center Drive from Copart.
