Some projects change more than the landscape. They change what is possible for a community.

We sat down with Dr. Donna M. Christian-Christensen to talk about the new healthcare facility on St. Croix that will carry her name.

Replacing the former Charles Harwood Medical Center, the Donna M. Christian-Christensen Medical Complex represents a new chapter in healthcare for St. Croix. Designed from the ground up for healthcare delivery, with input from the people who do this work every day, the facility brings critical services together under one roof and creates a space built around the needs of the community it serves.

For Dr. Christiansen, the impact goes beyond a new building. It is about giving St. Croix a modern healthcare facility the community can rely on and be proud of.

This is what community impact looks like when the people, the purpose and the project come together.

As our 20th anniversary month comes to a close, we look back with pride on the reputation we've built across the Virgin Islands by doing what we say we'll do: delivering quality work on time, and often ahead of schedule.

Every project has helped shape our story and reinforce the standard we hold ourselves to every day.

We build with purpose. We are driven by craftsmanship, guided by accountability, and committed to our community.

We're proud of what we've built together, and we're ready for what's next.

Across the Charles Harwood Memorial Complex site, crews are actively building the foundation systems that will support the new public health facility. Foundation footings, walls and other critical structural elements are taking shape across multiple areas of the project to prepare the site for vertical construction.

Work is also continuing on site improvement efforts to support upcoming phases. The Consigli/Benton Joint Venture team remains focused on delivering a modern healthcare facility that will serve our St. Croix community for generations to come.

The former Central High School gymnasium has been demolished, marking a visible milestone in the transformation of the campus. As familiar structures come down, crews are preparing the site for the school’s next chapter.

Beyond the gymnasium, enabling work, removal of underground structures, site clearing, and excavation activities continue across the campus. Each milestone moves the project one step closer to delivering a modern learning environment for St. Croix’s students, teachers, and families.

Success has never been a reason to stand still.

In the second installment of our conversation with James Benton, he reflects on a mindset that has shaped JBC throughout its 20-year history: the work is never truly finished.

There have been major projects, important milestones, and plenty of reasons to look back with pride. But James has always been more focused on what those experiences make possible for the future.

What can we improve? Where do we need to grow? How do we make sure the company is ready for tomorrow, next year, and the years ahead?

It is a philosophy that has kept J. Benton Construction moving forward for two decades, with a continued focus on growth, preparation, and long-term success.

D. Hamilton Jackson Terrace is making exciting progress!

The final residential building is nearing completion, while work continues across the property to enhance community and recreational spaces.

A shoreline garden created by residents inspired the addition of a new community garden within the redevelopment. Designed with ADA-compliant raised planters and an accessible pathway near the playground and basketball court, the space will make gardening more accessible while creating opportunities to share knowledge, culture, and traditions.

We are proud to be part of a project that reflects the ideas and spirit of the community itself.

Over the past 20 years, J. Benton Construction has continued to grow, adapt, and prepare for what comes next. In this new series, Content Marketing Manager Quiana Adams sits down with James Benton to talk about how we started, the lessons learned along the way, his approach to leadership, and the stories behind the success of the company.

We begin with one of James’ core philosophies: stay ahead of the curve.

For us, that has meant investing in technology, processes, and people before the next big contract is awarded, not after. The goal is simple: when the opportunity comes, the team is already prepared to take it on.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more from this conversation and take a closer look at the history, decisions, people, and experiences that have shaped J. Benton Construction over the last two decades.

The future of construction is shaped long before graduation day.

This summer, we were proud to welcome interns representing universities across the United States, bringing fresh ideas, curiosity, and a shared passion for building better communities. From the jobsite to the office, they gained hands-on experience while working alongside professionals committed to mentoring the next generation.

At J. Benton Construction, we believe investing in future leaders is just as important as the projects we build. We are grateful to have been part of their journey and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in the industry.

Thank you for spending your summer with Team Benton. Your future is just getting started.
