HREGI Profile Q&A WITH A HUNTSVILLE REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH INITIATIVE INVESTOR
Adam Marona, Bailey-Harris Construction Q: How has Bailey-Harris’ presence grown in the Huntsville area? A: Next year will mark the 40th Anniversary of Bailey-Harris Construction. Allen Harris, CEO, has successfully grown the company which he founded on integrity, wisdom, hard work, and the best customer satisfaction. Our Design/Build capabilities have allowed us to help clients maneuver complex projects, while creating relationships that most privately owned General Contractors our size aren’t able to sustain. Harris always says that this business is about people, not building – a lot of companies can build/construct but providing quality service to our clients along with creating the lasting relationship is what sets us apart from others. We have been fortunate enough to have two major projects here in Huntsville, Jemison High School and Charger Village at UAH, with another large project soon to be announced. Being awarded these projects has introduced us to many subcontractors and different committees in the area. It has also shown us that Huntsville is a place we want to continue to be part of and help grow. We are beyond excited about the new office here, and the growth we have experienced in just the short time of being a true local General Contractor with strong ties to the community.
Q: What would you like other Chamber members reading this to know about your company? A: Bailey-Harris is very proud to be part of HREGI and to have a home in Huntsville. We are committed to this area and look forward to being part of the growth in what we consider one of the best places to live or work in the country. We stand behind our work and want to serve the community by providing a quality service, but at the same time, contributing to the growth of this area.
Q: Why does Bailey-Harris support HREGI, the Huntsville Regional Economic Growth Initiative? A: Supporting HREGI is an excellent way to build relationships because we know the commitment it takes to grow and improve an area such as Huntsville. HREGI has given us the opportunity to further those efforts by offering networking events and other economic development support to the companies coming in to the area. It is always exciting news to hear about businesses that are moving in and creating jobs. HREGI works hard for the betterment of the area, and we just simply want to be a part of those efforts.
