The Market & Main Lifestyle Center is transforming the landscape of Bedford, NH, and as the project approaches its final stages, excitement is building. Sullivan Construction recently invited TFMoran to join the celebration as the last beam was lowered into place, marking a significant milestone in this ambitious development.

Ken Beers, the Superintendent at Sullivan Construction, discussed recent additions to a 725 lb. beam: an American flag and a Fir tree.
