NICKERSON & O'DAY, INC.

Honoring Maine’s volunteers…
On October 5th, Karl once again had the honor and privilege of sponsoring and co-hosting the 2017 WLBZ2 To Those Who Care Awards at the Nickerson & O’Day-built Gracie Theatre on the campus of Husson University. He, along with WLBZ’s Lee Goldberg and Amanda Hill and representatives from the Dead River Company and the United Way welcomed several hundred friends and family of 6 amazing and wonderful volunteers from Eastern and Central Maine – whose stories were portrayed in video and inspired us all! If you know someone who exemplifies caring and volunteerism in the community, please consider nominating them for next year’s award!

Building for our veterans…
Earlier last week, Karl had the privilege of touring Nickerson & O’Day’s $2M addition and renovation project at the Maine Veterans Home in South Paris. The work will provide a beautiful new kitchen, dining and lounge areas for our veterans who deserve nothing but the best! Kudos to Project Superintendent Jay Spox who is wrapping things up with his son Kyle Spox! Keep up the good work guys!

New Facility At Hinckley Yacht Service Underway

In 2008, Nickerson & O’Day completed the new dormitory project at Foxcroft Academy to house their successful international student boarding program. To say thanks and to literally help “build” our next generation of Maine leaders, Karl donated $30,000.00 to create the new Nickerson & O’Day Construction/Engineering Scholarship and asked that it be given to a graduating FA senior headed for a STEM degree in a Maine college or university. On June 11th, the 10th scholarship was awarded from the fund to Colby Garland, a member of FA’s graduating Class of 2017! Congratulations, Colby…and good luck in your engineering career!
