Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
In 1982, Clarke didn’t just graduate from Virginia Tech with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering; he also founded MEB General Contractors, a full-service construction firm and master builder.
Launched with a handful of employees as a small federal govern-ment contractor serving military installations across the Hampton Roads area, MEB has since grown into a 250-employee firm with $136 million in revenue for 2023.
MEB’s portfolio includes projects such as the 80,000-square-foot Brittingham-Midtown Community Center in Newport News and the 285,000-square-foot Virginia Beach Sports Center. MEB also completed the Norfolk Ohio Creek Watershed National Disaster Resilience Project, for which the company won the 2023 HRACRE Award of Excellence for Best Sustainable Project.
Clarke received Virginia Tech’s Myers-Lawson School of Construction Outstanding Service Award in 2010, and represents the City of Virginia Beach on the board of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel Commission.
