Roanoke firm to build new elementary
Roanoke contractor Branch and Associates will build the new consolidated elementary school in Elliston.
The Montgomery County school board chose the firm after hearing it was the lowest bid at a little more than $18 million. It was one of five bids received.
Assistant Superintendent Walt Shannon said documents should be signed by Dec. 1, with working beginning soon after. The school is expected to be complete by 2010.
The contractors also built Christiansburg and Blacksburg middle school.
