MERC

"I hope you noticed the new and improved look at MERC. It looks good now and will continue to get better as the work is completed. There is a story behind what you see that can be applied to us."

"Several years ago MERC hired a contractor to maintain the MERC campus. The first few years they did an excellent job, but over the years they grew complacent. Recognizing what had been happening another contractor saw an opportunity to step in and take the work. They pitched their ideas about how to beatify MERC, repair the sprinklers, remove some threes and make the courtyards add to the overall MERC look. The fresh approach was embraced by MERC. The old contractor was fired and you see the results of the new contractor. MERC was not actively looking for a new contractor but when the short-coming of the old one were identified MERC looked for a way to make a change."
