"SGC’s commitment to these markets began more than 100 years ago with my great-grandfather, Halbert Powers Gillette," said SGC President and CEO Edward S. Gillette. "He was recently named as one of the Top 100 Private Sector Transportation Construction Professionals of the 20th Century by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association for his contributions to the industry. We are enthusiastic about this opportunity to expand our service to construction professionals." The construction group properties will continue to be led by Mancini and MB Media President Rick Blesi, who will each maintain equity interest in the properties.
