AUSTIN (PRNewswire) — Hellas, a leading force in sports construction, proudly announces its commitment to fostering inclusivity and diversity in its projects. With a focus on supporting historically underutilized businesses (HUBs), Hellas is launching an initiative to actively seek partnerships for a series of upcoming school bond projects.
The event, held at Hellas HQ brought together representatives from a diverse group of local entrepreneurs and business owners in the Austin area. Through a series of one-on-one strategic sessions, attendees had the opportunity to learn about the 2022 Austin ISD Bond Package. Hellas is actively developing a local partnership network of Historically Underutilized Businesses to pursue the construction of athletic facilities across the district.
Hellas invites HUBs specializing in various construction and related services to participate in this initiative. The projects covered under this initiative include multiple school projects spanning across the Austin Area. These projects encompass a wide range of construction needs, including, but not limited to, excavation, asphalt paving, haul-off trucking, electrical, erosion control and more.
“At Hellas, we believe in the power of economic empowerment to drive positive change in our communities,” said Reed Seaton, CEO of Hellas. “Hellas is deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of its business operations. By supporting local disadvantaged and historically underutilized businesses, we are not only fostering economic inclusion but also creating pathways for long-term success and engagement in the development of safer athletic facilities for our kids, many of which attend these schools.”
Partnership opportunities for HUBs include subcontracting, joint ventures, and supplier relationships. Hellas is committed to providing support and resources to help HUBs navigate the procurement process and maximize their involvement in these projects.
Interested HUBs are encouraged to contact Knute O’Donnell at kodonnell@hellasconstruction.com for more information on how to participate in this initiative. Hellas looks forward to building meaningful partnerships with HUBs and making a positive impact on communities through these school bond projects.
