City of Chicago 2025 Summit

On March 27, 2025, the C Corona Construction team attended the City of Chicago Summit, an influential networking and procurement event designed to connect small, minority-owned, and veteran-owned businesses with key decision-makers from city departments and major contracting firms.

Hosted at McCormick Place, this high-energy summit brought together professionals across the construction and infrastructure ecosystem. The event included prime contractors, procurement specialists, and agency representatives from across the city — all committed to creating opportunities and partnerships that drive equitable development.

Goals & Takeaways:

• Strategic Networking: We connected with procurement teams from agencies like the Illinois Medical District, Department of Water Management, and University of Illinois System, showcasing our expertise in excavation, municipal utility work, and general contracting.

• Prime Engagement: Engaging directly with general contractors like Clark Construction and F.H. Paschen, we explored teaming opportunities for future infrastructure and public works projects.

• Showcasing Our Capabilities: Armed with marketing materials and project portfolios, our team proudly highlighted our OSHA 30-certified crew, multilingual workforce, and 20+ years of experience executing safe and efficient builds across Chicagoland.

Why This Matters:

For Corona Construction, events like the COC Summit are more than networking opportunities—they are a chance to reinforce our mission of building better communities through strong partnerships, safe practices, and unmatched reliability.

Our attendance at this event reaffirms our commitment to increasing visibility, securing new contract opportunities, and contributing to a more inclusive and skilled construction industry in Chicago.
