Full-service construction company specializing in commercial and residential development and support projects.

2015 was a great year at George Nice and Sons. With an average of approximately 60 employees, those at GNS worked a total of 108,825.20 hours, which allowed for the completion of quite a few projects. Together, we accomplished so much.

We completed four phases at White Hall, including Section 5 by Williamsburg Christian Academy, the Clubhouse area, the East Off-Site Sewer, and Section 3.

Virginia Capital Trail, Park Phase was completed.

We completed three other subdivisions – The Preserve at Fisher’s Creek, Marywood, and Turtle Creek – along with The Village Walk at Settler’s Market in Williamsburg, a fairly popular new shopping destination.

In addition to the hard work, we did a little playing, too.

We celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a pink pancake breakfast, and sent over $500 in donations to the Hospice House in Williamsburg.

We celebrated the grand opening of the Virginia Capital Trail, along with Timmons Group and other contributing businesses.

We celebrated the retirement of and said goodbye to one of our employees, Dallas Smith. He’d been with us 10 years in 2015.

Three more employees also celebrated anniversaries. Steve Johnson (left) celebrated 20, Lee Cunningham (top right) and Mickey Geltmacher (bottom right) celebrated 10.

We welcomed Denise Tyler to the Human Resources department.

Kate and I had a very DIY Christmas at the office.

HD Supply drove up the street and supplied us with lunch one day.

And we threw a pretty successful Christmas party for our employees. Two Drummers catered and everything was delicious.

Overall, it was a pretty good year. And we look forward to what’s to come in 2016!
