Former intermodal barge shipping facility along the Mississippi River is being transformed with new features including a concert venue. 

The St. Louis-based contractor expects to complete the project, which includes a leak detection system and a second, adjacent reservoir, in October.

A $200 million transaction between owner Serán Bioscience and Bain Capital Life Sciences in 2024 helped support the buildout of the commercial-scale plant. 

The city also appointed its first-ever chief AI officer to lead its effort to “harness the power” of artificial intelligence.

The record project went to Dondlinger Wildcat EKC1, a joint venture between Wichita, Kansas-based general contractors Dondlinger & Sons Construction and Wildcat Construction.
