The company has their corporate headquarters in Platte, South Dakota. This expansion will enable Summit Contracting to better serve customers in Nebraska and the surrounding states.

The 15.7-acre site is located west of Nebraska Highway 15 on Izaak Walton Road. The parcel was purchased, annexed, and rezoned to enter the corporate limits of Seward. The development will feature a campus of development including a showroom, corporate offices, warehouse space, and staging areas for construction projects.

“We’re excited to have this new facility serve as the southern headquarters for Summit Contracting.” said Southwick. “We are grateful for the warm reception of community leaders in Seward and look forward to a long and successful relationship with our customers, staff, and local partners.”

Summit Contracting was founded in 2009. They currently have three other locations in South Dakota and an office in Iowa. Their main product is constructing ag facilities ranging from grain bins and complete grain systems to post frame and metal buildings. Summit Contracting currently has 30 employees in Nebraska.

Construction on the site has already begun. The anticipated grand opening and ribbon cutting for the new Summit facility in Seward will be in 2024.
