Mark brings extensive nonprofit and construction experience to his role as Director of Horizon Construction. After nearly 20 years as a senior staff person overseeing building projects for DNREC, Mark worked for Schell Brothers, a major regional construction firm. He then served as executive director for two statewide land preservation organizations before helping form Horizon Construction in 2016. Since then, HCS has overseen nearly $30 million of nonprofit projects, each benefitting from Mark’s personal care and attention to quality, detail and cost. During the last several years, Chura assisted Horizon clients with site acquisition for the Lewes Public Library; the complete renovation of the Lewes History Museum facility; new entrance roads, parking and event facilities for Fort Miles Historical Association and, design and expansion of the Lewes Senior Activity Center. Mark is also working on infrastructure and construction planning for the new Sussex Montessori School. We recently completed major renovations to the iconic St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Lewes and are beginning plans for a new church community center.
