The event will provide prospective contractors with the opportunity to learn more about the Central Riverfront portion of the CityArchRiver 2015 project and the 10 project packages that comprise this project component.

The conference and networking event come on the heels of a successful stakeholder meeting with supportive DBE/MBE organizations held Sept. 6, 2013. More than 50 organizations and leaders focused on promoting skills, careers and capacity of DBE/MBE firms in the region were in attendance at the initial meeting to learn more about the construction projects. Both meetings are part of an effort to build a proactive and inclusive CityArchRiver 2015 project.
CityArchRiver 2015 improvements will provide visitors and residents with new opportunities for entertainment, recreation and learning through landscape improvements to the Arch grounds, renovated and expanded museum space and acres of new community-oriented event spaces. Great Rivers Greenway will oversee the construction of improvements to the Central Riverfront, one of
12 project components. The riverfront work includes the elevation of Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard, which will reduce flooding on the central riverfront and provide additional opportunities for recreational activities along Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard.
