Grand Opening
We enjoyed being with other local families celebrating the grand re-opening of the Flowing Wells Library on Saturday, February 23, 2019.
To quote one eighth grader present, “This library is LIT!“
The Kappcon Construction Team agrees, this is one magnificent library!
Updates include new study rooms for teens, a children’s area, a large community room and a beautiful outdoor patio space. Kappcon is so proud of this project, several employees now use it as their go-to library! The Flowing Wells community will be well served by this engaging space.
For more information, see the Flowing Wells Library Press Release
Stay tuned for a new post with all the latest images!
Concrete Slab for Rita Road Cultivation Center
Earlier this month, Kappcon and trade partner employees poured the largest concrete slab in our history. Poured in two separate evenings, the almost 900 yards of concrete will be the future home of the Tucson Cannabis Campus. This state of the art medical marijuana facility will be the largest in Arizona once completed.
Check out this incredible drone shot of the finished pad!
Kappcon would like to thank the hardworking employees of Calportland, Brundage-Bone, Luciano Concrete and Penhall for their partnership on this project.
You can read more about the Tucson Cannabis Campus at the Arizona Daily Star.
A bluegrass dinner to celebrate the Christmas Season!
Merry Christmas! There was about 65 people in attendance at Kappcon’s Christmas Party this year.
While we had hoped to host this year’s party in the spectacular Flowing Wells Library MPR – which Kappcon built this year – we were really happy to instead transform our own warehouse into party space.
Thanks to Cadillac Mountain for jamming at our garage party (Thanks Joel, Rudy, Katy, and Heather). Tucson friends, you need to see this bluegrass band.
Everyone feasted on delicious Italian dishes from Roma Imports and embibed in wine from Plaza Liquors (Thanks Mark for pointing out some good bottles).
Great job Anna for organizing this happy event.
Merry Christmas to our Employees – Friends and Families.

Horseshoe Canyon is a special place on Kitt Peak. Our team was tasked with remediation of a developed telescope site and giving it back to nature.
