GREEN COVE SPRINGS – A Green Cove Springs company is playing a key role in helping construct a $150 million building on the Southbank in Jacksonville.

Baptist Health has contracted with Green Cove Springs company Trinity Fabricators to produce the steel that will be used to build the nine-story Baptist M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Each beam weighs 22,000 pounds each and will be visible locally as the company begins hauling the pieces northward on U.S. Highway 17. They are scheduled to begin installing the pieces on Dec. 19, according to one Trinity official.

The building will take up a two-block section across San Marco Boulevard from the four-story, 100,000-square-foot building that has housed Baptist MD Anderson since last October. Officials broke ground on the center last June and have been building the massive project since. It is scheduled to be completed in 2018.

While there is no word on how much the sell was worth to Trinity Fabricators or how many jobs the project may have created locally, records show Trinity has 35 employees.
