Project Summary:

Crawford's dedicated team worked, around the clock, to assist with last-minute adjustments during the installation process. The support stand weighed a total of 2500 pounds (20' x 20' square). The holiday tradition began at the former KONE Tower and has now continued at KONE's new building at Bass Street Landing.
