Summit Contracting Recognized as the 2023 New Business of the Year by the Seward County Chamber and Development Partnership
We are honored to be recognized by the Seward County Chamber and Development Partnership as the 2023 New Business of the Year. "Building the Nebraska headquarters for Summit Contracting in Seward, with its strong agricultural roots, is a natural fit for us," said John Southwick, Vice President of Summit Contracting, who accepted the award. "This is huge for our company to put down stakes somewhere that our customers know we’re here for the long haul," Southwick added.
Seward is a wonderful community for our employees to live in and to raise their families. "It has the small-town feeling with a lot of amenities," Southwick shared. "We are excited to offer the community a wide range of jobs and look forward to attracting a lot of talent to Seward."
Founded in 2009 by Tyler and Katy Samuelson, Summit Contracting has evolved into an industry-leading full-service farm construction company, committed to delivering outstanding quality and service. We appreciate the opportunity to grow our business and build relationships in the Seward community.
