Vancouver
— German construction and engineering giant Bilfinger
Berger will move the U.S. headquarters of its civil engineering
division from Longmont, Colo., to Vancouver, Wash. The office
opens this month in the Columbia Tech Center development and
will eventually have a staff of 50 employees. Officials at the
Columbia River Economic Development Council say Bilfinger was
attracted to Vancouver in part for its proximity to Lufthansa
Airlines’ direct flights to Frankfurt out of Portland
International Airport.
