Registration Now Open for Grit City Connect Networking Event

Tuesday March 03, 2026
Grit City Connect

Subcontractors can now register for the Grit City Connect networking event – co-hosted by the City of Tacoma, Tacoma Public Schools, Parks Tacoma, and the Port of Tacoma – to connect subcontractors with prime contractors and public agencies. It will be held on May 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at STAR Center (3873 S. 66th Street in Tacoma).

The event is designed to:

  • Facilitate meaningful engagement between prime contractors and potential subcontractors, creating new connections while strengthening relationships established last year.
  • Share insights into upcoming projects and procurement needs focused on construction, facilities maintenance and other public works opportunities, building on prior conversations and feedback from last year’s engagements.
  • Promote continued networking and partnerships within our contracting community, supporting long-term relationship development and collaboration.

Subcontractors are encouraged to bring capabilities statements.

Space is limited, and early registration is recommended. Event details, including a link to register online, are available at makeittacoma.com/events.

Community members with questions or requests to receive information in an alternate format can contact Linda Cerna at lcerna@tacoma.gov or (253) 453-9488.
