On Tuesday May 25 at 11:30 am, the sun was shining as S.C. Swiderski and the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking to celebrate the start of construction on SCS’s newest Merrill Project titled SCS Fox Point. This ceremony celebrated the beginning of construction for S.C. Swiderski’s fourth apartment community in the City of Merrill. Located at 1901 E. 14th Street adjacent to Merrill High School. SCS Fox Point will bring quality housing with professional management to the community.

The event had great success as the SCS team was joined by numerous individuals who took part in the planning of the project. The attendees included lenders Fred, PJ, and Cheryl of Paper City Savings Bank with local branches Merrill and Tomahawk Community Bank, Ken, Cheryl and ambassadors from the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Woellner, and David Johnson, the city administrator.

SCS Fox Point was approved in February 2020 and now, just over a year later, we are beginning construction at the new site. The Development Team at S.C. Swiderski explained that they were awarded the project through the City of Merrill’s RFP process in 2020. The project proposal included two newly designed building styles to create a multi-generational community.

Merrill native Tom Woller is the head of the construction department at SCS and has appointed outstanding individuals to lead the way on the project. Becky Hensel is the Senior Project Coordinator, Amber Keller is named Project Manager, and the Site Superintendent is Scott Ristow. The site is set to complete Spring of 2022.

S.C. Swiderski would like to recognize SCS construction and excavation teams who have been working very hard on the new site and have continued to make this entire process possible. In addition, recognizing the individuals from the Operations team that includes COO Nathanael Popp, the Marketing and Accounting teams.
