Mayor Bob Coble will recognize Mashburn Construction Company, Inc. as the winner of the 2009 Mayor’s Corporate Citizen Award during a special luncheon on Tuesday, October 6, 2009.
The Mayor’s Corporate Citizen of the Year award was established in 1991 to recognize businesses in Columbia that have demonstrated a strong leadership role, a dedication to community service and a commitment to employee volunteerism.
Founded in 1976 by CEO Harry Mashburn, Mashburn Construction was established as a construction company dedicated to protecting the interests of its clients, Mashburn Construction has evolved into a full-service construction company, capable of managing projects from conceptual planning to completion, while maintaining its business philosophy: “Building with integrity”.
Mashburn is dedicated to Columbia having been headquartered in downtown Columbia for over 30 years. The company has developed lasting partnerships with key community organizations including the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Museum of Art, City Center Partnership, and Central SC Alliance. Mashburn continues to find new ways to invest in charitable community organizations including United Way, March of Dimes, Carolina Sunshine, Habitat for Humanity, Free Medical Clinic, Harvest Hope Food Bank, and many others. Furthering this charitable commitment, Mashburn Construction recently donated time, materials and construction management for the new family center at Columbia’s Family Connection.
Mayor Bob Coble stated, “We are pleased to recognize such a worthy company. Mashburn Construction has been an outstanding asset to our city through their commitment to quality service in the workplace and the community.”
