Archived since: Oct, 2021

Description:

Morrison Knudsen Foundation was started in 1947 at the Morrison-Knudsen Company (M-K) with donations from M-K employees. Morrison Knudsen Company was a construction and engineering company founded in 1912 by Harry Morrison and Morris Knudsen. M-K played a crucial role in developing our community. Some of their local projects included the New York Canal, Bogus Basin, Cascade Reservoir, Boise Memorial Bridge, and building numerous roads, railroad lines, power and water projects. M-K also completed many prestigious national and international engineering feats such as Hoover Dam, San Francisco Bay Bridge, Penn Station, and Buenos Aires Subway. Morrison Knudsen expanded their business to include management of manufacturing plants, mining operations and a locomotive remanufacturing business (M-K Locomotive Shop started in Boise, Idaho).
