June 2, 2010 Michigan City – Tonn and Blank Construction Company, headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana, was recently ranked as one of Engineering News-Records (ENR) Top 400 General Contractors in the United States.

ENR’s 2009 Top 400 Contractors list ranks the 400 largest General Contractors according to 2009 revenue in millions of dollars. ENR’s Top 400 is a comprehensive package of data and analysis that contains the previous year's rankings and percentage of revenue by market. The list also ranks the largest firms in a wide variety of market sectors.

According to ENR, the Top 400 Contractors witness the depth of the recession as the Top 400 as a group generated revenues 14.1% lower than the previous year. In 2008 the group as a whole generated $333.38 billion and in 2009 revenues fell off to $290.63 billion. Of 374 contractors on this year’s list that submitted surveys last year, 291 suffered declining revenues, 80 saw revenue increase.
