Mortenson and Populous and SRG Partnership have been picked by Hillsboro’s Hops as well as the City of Hillsboro to oversee the Ron Tonkin Field reconstruction.
The new MiLB facility standards mandated by MLB will be met by the refurbishment project. Project goals include renovation, completion, and expansion of the home team, visitors and coaching/umpire staff facilities, as well as necessary infrastructural changes to ensure compliance with regulations.
A total of four design-build teams from all throughout the country submitted their bids to us. In a press release, Sean Morrison, Senior Project Manager for Mortenson, SRG, Populous stated, “The Mortenson, SRG, Populous team stood out because of their highly personable, right-sized, and community-oriented approach to this project,” Morrison added. In addition, their tried-and-true approach to DEI and support and development programs for COBID subcontractors was an essential role in their success. Those businesses in our neighborhood would benefit greatly from this, we believe.”
