Allegeir, Martin and Associates begins expansion project
JOPLIN, Mo. — Allegeir, Martin and Associates breaks ground on an expansion project.
The plan is to add 50% more space to the current facility, which is located in Joplin's Crossroads Business Park. Company officials say this could allow them to add as many as 50 new employees.
The consulting engineering firm began in 1954 in Lamar, but relocated its corporate headquarters to Joplin in 1965. Since then, the company has added offices in Springfield, Bentonville, Rolla, Kansas City and Tulsa.
It actually opened its current facility in 2011, shortly before the tornado, and leaders didn't expect to expand so soon.

'It's primarily because we our offices are absolutely full right now. We've experienced a tremendous growth, a little more than we had even planned for. And so it was time to build and expand the facilities we have,' said Allegeir, Martin and Associates President Steven McNabb.
'I think it's a testament to some of the founders of the company and some of the leaders of the company and employees of the past just how successful this company's been and it does make you feel good, have a good reputation and be successful and be able to provide jobs like this for the community,' said Allegeir, Martin and Associates First Vice President Chris Erisman.
The goal is to have the expansion project finished by March.
