This June, Weigand Construction (WCI) turned the page on a historic chapter, beginning construction on a new company office in Putnam County, Ohio. We gathered with representatives from the Putnam County Community Improvement Corporation, Technicon Design Group, Bockrath and Associates, Greater Lima Region, and the Putnam County Commissioner to turn dirt on this exciting next step for both WCI and the community.
“As I stand here, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that brought us right here to this moment. What you see behind me is the beginning of our new office, but for our team this groundbreaking represents years of planning, relationship buidling, and continued investment in this region that has become a big part of our company’s future.” – Larry Weigand, CEO, Weigand Construction
Committed for Decades
Established along US-224 in the Village of Ottawa, our 9,000-square-foot office will be open in 2027 and will provide preconstruction services, general contracting, design-build, and Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) services in Northwest Ohio. In addition, we will continue to use our local field work force to provide concrete, carpentry, and masonry trade work throughout the region.
“Anytime a business wants to invest in Ohio, we feel it’s a great day when that investment happens here in Putnam County…we’re grateful for your investment and we look forward to supporting you as you continue to invest in your people and in the community here.” – Amy Sealts, Executive Director, Putnam County Community Improvement Corporation
For 20 years, Weigand has been a trusted partner of healthcare providers, educational institutions, commercial businesses, and manufacturers throughout Northwest Ohio. WCI recently completed an 80,000-square-foot office and trailer finishing facility for Nelson Manufacturing and has also delivered projects for clients including OhioHealth Van Wert Hospital, Central Mutual Insurance, Mercer Health, and Parkview Bryan Hospital.
People at the Core
“Every member of the team who will work here lives in this region. They raised their families here. Their children attend local schools,” said Director of Ohio Operations Cody Michaud, “they volunteer in local organizations, support local businesses, worship in local churches, and are deeply invested in the success of this community.”
This new office is an extension of WCI’s values, expertise, and roots in the region. We’re excited to begin this new chapter and continue our mission of building projects that impact the lives and communities we serve.
“What will make this office special isn’t the structure, bricks, mortar, or concrete, but the people inside it, the relationships that are built here, and the impact those relationships will have throughout this region for years to come. Thanks for your trust, your partnership, and your support.” – Larry Weigand, CEO, Weigand Construction
