All employees of Nielson Construction were notified Monday that they are now employees of Staker Parsons Construction Company.
The sale transaction was reported as finalized on Monday. Meetings will continue for the next couple of days to inform all employees of their assignments with the new company.
Staker Parsons is an Intermountain Region company with a corporate office in Ogden, Utah. It employs over 2,000 people at several locations in Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and Arizona. The company was formed in 2001 when Staker Paving and Concrete Company became partners with Jack B. Parsons.
Nielson has maintained its agricultural holdings in Emery County, but all construction entities are reported to be sold.
More information will be reported as it becomes available.
