Local construction company celebrates 50th with two major projects

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Willis Smith Construction of Lakewood Ranch will be building two projects likely to be considered East County landmarks for decades to come. 

The projects will take place during the company’s 50th anniversary this year — although neither will be finished until 2023. Still, the vertical part of construction for both projects this year will attract plenty of attention, according to a story in the East County Observer, sister paper of the Business Observer.
