The construction of the Montalvo STEM Education Center commenced the week of April 20, with completion expected by late 2026. This new community facility aims to enhance STEM education initiatives.[1]
College Campus Upgrades
Coconino Community College is progressing with design work on multiple facilities funded by a $100 million voter-approved bond. Key efforts include rebuilding the Fourth Street Campus in Flagstaff and constructing an Allied Health Building on the Lone Tree Campus. Design committees involving local stakeholders have been formed, with construction slated to begin in 2027.[2]
Broadband Network Deployment
Wecom Fiber's expansive fiber optic network project, backed by over $40 million in private investment alongside city and federal contributions, continues rollout. The initiative is projected to sustain 125 to 175 direct construction jobs, encompassing roles for fiber crews, splicers, engineers, and project managers.[3]
These projects underscore persistent demand for construction expertise amid planning and active builds.
In the near term, the STEM center's completion later this year and forthcoming bids for college facilities signal sustained professional opportunities in the sector.
