State: New Mexico
Center: NMSBDC – Clovis
Client Name: M-CORE Construction, LLC dba Eastern New Mexico Glass – Chris and A.J. Moreno
The Small Business Development Center at Clovis Community College has chosen M-CORE Construction, LLC dba, Eastern New Mexico Glass as their 2012 Success Client.
In 2004, A.J. Moreno approached his parents, Chris and Ida Jo Moreno, requesting their help in starting a construction business. At the time the trio had little knowledge of how far they would actually end up taking the company.

Initially in 2004, the Moreno’s required support with a computerized accounting program and requested assistance from the Small Business Development Center in Clovis, N.M. The family then strategically purchased an existing glass business in 2005. In 2006, the Moreno’s decided to expand their business by becoming a government contractor. They once again sought assistance from the Center and thus began their journey to become a Small Business Administration 8(a) Contractor. (more…)
