White Construction, Barton Malow and Hunt Construction Group teamed up to construct the new $450 million, 20,000-seat Detroit Red Wings sports complex.
will connect the $137 million Woodward Avenue Streetcar Project, also known as the M-1 Rail Line, developed by M-1 RAIL. Construction on this en- deavor began in September 2015, and involves laying down 3.3 miles of fixed streetcar rail along Woodward Ave. in Detroit.
White Construction has also been selected as the construction manager for the Kemeny Recreation Center in the Delray neighborhood, a village lo- cated on the southwest side of Detroit, which will include the abatement and demolition of the ex- isting recreation facility and new construction of a 33,000-square-foot, one-story facility. Work on the project is expected to begin in 2016.
White also has one dream project on his bucket list that hasn’t yet materialized. His goal is to build a 20-story-or-higher high-rise in Detroit.
“LEARN, EARN AND GIVE BACK”
Along with involvement in a range of other commu- nity activities and programs, White recently estab- lished the W. Bernard White Education Foundation, which provides scholarships and grants to under- privileged African-American students in high school or college who are interested in science, technology
and engineering.
White says, “I believe there are three phases in your life: learn, earn and give back. I’m transitioning into the phase where I’d like to give back to people who need opportunities. I started the foundation so I can help those African-American kids who are working hard, who need a hand up and not a hand out. I think it’s important for people who have come through public schools to see that you can make money with hard work.”
And like his mother and grandmother reinforced to him and his siblings, education is the foundation for most people’s success. Now he’s working to make sure young people get the same message and have the support needed to make their dreams Possible.
As of March 2016, the foundation is funded. White and his team will be reviewing applicants and offer- ing scholarships this summer.
