Yesterday's blog post hailed Bay West Inc.'s setting up shop in Duluth as a big deal since it's the No. 4 environmental services firm in the state, according to rankings by Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.
Since then, we've heard from Edina-based Barr Engineering, which is No. 1 in the state, pointing out that they also have a presence in Duluth.
Make that a big presence.
Barr has an office with 50 professionals in the Providence Building, 332 W. Superior St. Not only that, Barr is expanding its office space there to accommodate more employees, said office manager Sheryl Filby Williams who noted that Barr is the second largest consulting firm in the area and also has an office in Hibbing.
But there's more.
A check with the phone book and we learn that No. 3-ranked Mavo Systems of White Bear Lake has an office in Proctor.
And... it's a big deal that they are ALL in the Twin Ports area.
(No.2-ranked Pace Analytical Services based in Minneapolis had an office in Superior, but it has closed).
