WILMINGTON — Wilmington-based construction firm Civil Works Contracting has landed part of a $3 billion NASA contract.
Civil Works Contracting (CWC) is one of 24 contractors included in NASA’s latest construction process. The agency’s Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) is will spend the approximate $3 billion construction budget over eight years; the MACC is designed to expand and improve facilities across the southeast.
Major facilities work will be done at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama; Stennis Space Center in Stennis, Mississippi, and the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
CWC has its headquarters in the industrial southside of Wilmington, near the Port of Wilmington. The company specializes in industrial construction projects and HUBzone (historically underutilized business zone), and has garnered four other major contracts with the United States government in the last three years.
The company is also currently involved in a contract dispute with Carolina Beach over a lake-dredging project.
