In february 1999, EMJ corporation, Chattanooga, Tenn., put the electrical portion of Nashville's RIvergate Mall renovation out for bid. EMJ is a multi-project general contractor with a national presence. The owner of the Rivergate Mall is CBL Associates Properties, Inc., also located in Chattanooga, which owns shopping malls throughout the United States. Harlan Electric, which has grown to nearly $20 million in annual sales with 155 employees including 140 electricians and apprentices, was awarded the $2 million electrical project in March 1999. The decision was based primarily on Marian's low bid, its 10-year relationship with EMJ, and the company's 30 years of experience in renovation work at institutional, industrial, and commercial facilities.
