The operator's website posted a list of the activities that are ongoing, such as spray-on fireproofing, concrete masonry wall construction, roofing, and many other items.
One of the more obvious signs of progress is the near-completion of the seven level, 3,400 space parking structure's precast concrete erection. Only the northwest corner remains just short of its final height.
The MGM project has been promised to create a minimum of 2,000 construction jobs and once open, hire at least 3,000 workers, of which at least 2,200 will be employed on a full-time equivalent basis with benefits.
Part of MGM's long-term employment pledge calls for the company to "use its best efforts" to ensure at least 35 percent of employees are Springfield residents, with no more than 10 percent of the workforce coming from outside the city limits to achieve labor participation goals regarding women, minorities and veterans.
