The payment was actually sent in last
week, but this morning, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett handed off a
ceremonial check for almost $13.9 million to Partners Development in
exchange for the keys to Tim Burchett Elementary School for the Carter Elementary.
“It took a lot of effort to get to
this point, but today we can officially say that Carter Elementary
School is a realization,” Burchett told a crowd of roughly 200,
adding that “citizen involvement matters, and elected officials do
listen.”
Construction crews still have some
minor work left, but the 90,000-square foot TBESFTCC will open in
August just in time for the new school year.
Here's a few photos from the event.
