In this edition of Buzz Talk we chat with Don Forsgren, the President of Intracorp. Don has been with the company since 1994, and took on the role of President in 2000.

Intracorp lives by the philosophy “Building the Extraordinary” and have certainly lived up their motto with awesome projects that capture the heart of their communities.
