[dropcap]The[/dropcap] OPC is set to cost about $350 million, and an alliance of minority firms is set to get a large chunk of that.

The minority companies will be getting a 51% stake, while Turner Company, which is one of the nation’s largest construction companies, will have a 49% stake.
It’s a historic move, not just because of the companies involved but because most minority firms will be hired on as subcontractors and not given majority stakes like this.
