At the end of last week, Florida was under threat from Hurricane Matthew, a Category Four Hurricane coming up from the southeast. While the storm was set to have the most impact on the coast, the Orlando area was under a Hurricane Warning. As the city prepared to deal with the possible damage, Orlando City made sure the construction site for the new stadium was protected.

“We have a written Hurricane Preparedness Plan as part of our overall Safety plan for the project that we followed during Hurricane Matthew,” said David Price. Price is the Vice President of Barton Malow, the construction contractor in charge of the stadium.
