(Michigan City, IN) - A Chicago construction company has opened an office in Michigan City.

 

F.H. Paschen specializes in repairs, renovations, and rebuilding of facilities. Their first job was a major renovation of their own office space on N. Karwick Road. According to a press release, they invested about $250,000 in the build-out.

 

F.H. Paschen has more than 500 total employees in offices across seven other states. Their projects include bridge repairs, school renovations, transit system construction, and design; they also worked on the South Shore Line’s West Lake Corridor.

 

 “F.H. Paschen brings vital construction industry offerings even closer to our city with the addition of an office ready to support our many projects, today and in the future,” said Michigan City Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch. “Our city continues to see a construction boom – on both a large and small scale – that needs the support and services of such companies as F.H. Paschen.”

 

The Michigan City office has 15 employees, including nine supervisory and administrative positions, as well as an additional 40 to 50 seasonal tradespeople.

 

 “F.H. Paschen’s Indiana Civil Office is operated by Indiana residents that are all located within 30-60 minutes of Michigan City. Our area of focus for the work we build is within up to 90 minutes of Michigan City,” said F.H. Paschen Civil Operations Manager James E. Reitz. “We all thoroughly enjoy being close to Lake Michigan where we all spent summers at the beach as kids and now as adults. Michigan City is our new home, and we could not be happier being here.”
