Jorge Sanchez, founder of Fargo Construction, has spent more than two decades developing new construction multi-unit buildings across Chicago, helping reshape neighborhoods like Pilsen. His journey began as a young boy who left home in Mexico, eventually making his way to Chicago and starting in paving and construction.
