The Governor James G. Martin Building made its debut at the North Carolina State Fair on October 6, 2006, and, was awarded the prestigious “Certificate of Merit” from the NC State Construction Office in February of 2007.

This newly constructed 10,000 square foot building is ideal for exhibitions, small trade shows, meetings, training or social events. Also known as the North Carolina State Fairgrounds Midway Support Building, it provides essential amenities to the north side of the Fairgrounds. It includes large public restrooms, two family restrooms, a mother’s lounge and a multi-purpose room to serve the needs of the N.C. State Fairgrounds. The facility’s design incorporates easily maintained tile interiors, considerable day-lighting and easy access for everyone, including those with disabilities.

MLB was nominated for the “Certificate of Merit” by the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for their exemplary work in delivering a completed building, passing all review steps and final inspections in a period of just five months. This is the first time in over 10 years that the Department nominated a General Contractor for their service. MLB was recognized by SCO officials involved with the project as being one of the best Contractors they have ever worked with, especially on such a complex project, and within very tight time constraints.
