Massachusetts is going big on groundbreaking supplies because the Bay State is enjoying an economic and building development boom. It isn't surprising. Always at the helm of progress, history, American culture and tradition are the backbone of Massachusetts, home of many pivotal "firsts" starting with Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies, founded in 1620 and 1630 by Pilgrims and Puritans respectively. Today, 400 years later, Millennium Partners will begin construction on Winthrop Square tower (named after puritan John Winthrop, founder of Massachusetts Bay Colony), a 52-story condo and office skyscraper, the 2nd tallest in Boston, across from Boston Common, the first public park in the country, founded in 1634. Bunker Hill will be seeing a revamp of its 13-block public housing complex in Charlestown and groundbreaking is set to start in the first half of 2019, and Developers Boston Properties and Delaware North are going forward with the construction on Phase II of what has been dubbed the "Hub on Causeway", which includes 1.5 million square feet of shops, restaurants, offices, hotel rooms, and residences. These are just 3 of 10 major constructions projects set to kick off this year in the Old Colony State and the reason why groundbreaking supplies have been in hot demand. From groundbreaking shovels, hard hats, and groundbreaking kits, to grand opening personalized ribbons, ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors, stanchions, red carpets and more, CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to be involved in the celebratory side of the building development boom in Massachusetts!
A Groundbreaking Ceremony In A Historical Location
Holding a groundbreaking ceremony in a historical location like Boston, or Plymouth is a big deal. Building and construction were sacred to the ancients, and it was important that a groundbreaking, or laying of the cornerstone ritual be followed ceremoniously because it was believed this would ensure protection during construction, and guarantee a successful integration of a structure for the betterment of a community. Breaking ground in historical settings like Boston, Lexington, or Salem for example, offers a unique and creative way for the companies involved to publicize the event.
When choosing the spot for the first sod-cutting, take a look at the surrounding area to determine the orientation setup of the ceremony. This is helpful when there are important, historical landmarks in the background that you'd like for the guests to notice, or for photos and videos. Next, you'll want the guests and attendees to feel comfortable during an outdoor activity that usually takes place during the day when people are wearing office attire. A tent would be ideal for this. Seats, tables, decorations, and food and refreshments can be organized, depending on budget, and the groundbreaking ceremony itself can take place within the tent. The ceremony involves speeches and dedications by local government officials, and representatives of the clergy as well as by the land owner, developer, architect, and others involved with the project. Notes of historical interest involving the location are part of the ceremony, and included in the dedications at the groundbreaking.
