WATERVILLE — Central Maine Growth Council has presented its annual 2023 Developer of the Year award to Sheridan Construction Corp., a design and build construction company in Fairfield. The award was presented at the council’s annual meeting, sponsored by Central Maine Motors, Kennebec Savings Bank, MaineGeneral Health and Huhtamaki.

“We are pleased to congratulate Sheridan Construction Corporation on receiving the Central Maine Growth Council’s Developer of the Year award for 2023. With over 75 years of experience and a remarkable track record of over 3,000 projects, Sheridan Construction has played a pivotal role in shaping Maine’s construction industry,” said Garvan Donegan, the council’s director of planning, innovation and economic development, according to a news release. “Sheridan Construction Corporation, with their remarkable projects such as the Thomas College Sukeforth Family Sports Center, has been pivotal in contributing to Waterville and the broader region’s ongoing redevelopment. Their support spans from facilitating entrepreneurial value-add facilities to fostering athletic spaces, making them an exceptional steward of some of the most impactful private and institutional projects in the state of Maine.”

Completed in 2022 while working alongside Waterville-based Thomas College and with architecture and design firm SMRT, Sheridan Construction was instrumental in creating the Thomas College Sukeforth Family Sports Center. The 18,000-square-foot athletic facility is the first phase of a proposed larger facility, which features athletic department offices, locker rooms for home and visiting teams, uniform and equipment storage, and Thomas’ Varsity ESports arena.

In addition to completing the Sukeforth Family Sports Complex, Sheridan Construction was the general contractor for the $1.3 million dollar buildout of Maine Crisp’s Winslow facility. Completed in 2022, the 17,500-square-foot plant is a certified 100% gluten-free manufacturing, warehousing, and retail facility that will allow Maine Crisp to sustain its growing operations while remaining in central Maine. The added capacity will allow Maine Crisp Co. to support more significant volumes of ingredients from Maine-based suppliers.
