South Coast Improvement Company wins $2 million renovation
project for medical marijuana dispensary for Commonwealth Alternative Care

1090 West Chestnut Street - Brockton, MA

Brockton, MA South Coast Improvement Company (SCI) has begun work on a $2 million renovation project to construct a medical marijuana dispensary at 1090 West Chestnut St. for Commonwealth Alternative Care. Hedrick Brothers Construction is the project manager.

SCI’s efforts will include a full site work package with ample parking and access as well as landscaping. That work features a full gut and renovation fit out for the entire interior of the building to accommodate a medical marijuana dispensary with future plans for a retail dispensary.

Other components of the project include an entire mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrade, with replacements as necessary. The exterior of the building will also be refreshed with new windows, storefront and signage.

“We have a lot of experience in the healthcare arenas between healthcare facilities and urgent care centers. As it is for many GCs, a medical marijuana facility is breaking new ground, yet it’s not unfamiliar territory,” said Tom Quinlan, president of SCI. “With every project, we bring a certain level of construction expertise and a commitment to process. We look forward to a very favorable result and finished product.”

The architect for the project is Glidden Spina. Engineering firms working on the project include Fuss & O’Neill, Inc. (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) and Field Engineering Company (civil and site work).

Construction work began in July and will conclude in November.
