An awning that was proposed at Trion Schools has been put on hold due to the fact that no contractors are willing to take on the job.  Trion School Supt. Dr. Phil Williams said that in the post-Covid economy, many smaller contractors who would have been willing to complete the job have gone out of business and larger contractors are either to far backed up to take on the project or are not interested in such a small job.

Back in December of last year, Dr. Williams told WZQZ News, “The school building was built almost twenty-eight years ago and Dr. Williams says that they were looking at a way to spruce up the entrance of the building.  The new awning being proposed will not only add to the aesthetics of the building, it will allow for quicker drop-off and pickup times for parents transporting their children to and from the school”.

Dr. Williams said that the only contractor willing to bid on the job couldn’t have it completed over the summer months in time for school to start back next fall.

Trion Schools are now looking to combine the awning project with other projects in order to attract more bidders and rebid the planned awning in the future.
