Trace Creek Construction Inc. Awarded Rowan County Detention Center Project

VANCEBURG, Ky. - Dec. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- With a longstanding reputation for designing and building quality projects across Kentucky, Trace Creek Construction Inc. has been named construction manager of the new Rowan County Detention Center.  The new 300 bed Detention Center will be designed by DLZ, Frankfort Kentucky. Trace Creek and DLZ will immediately move forward in conjunction with the Rowan County Fiscal Court to select a site for the project. The two year project is expected to cost fourteen million dollars to construct.

The Rowan County Fiscal Court, in Morehead, Kentucky, unanimously approved the selection of Trace Creek to manage the new detention center project.

“We are very pleased that the Rowan County Fiscal Court has selected us as the Construction Manager (at risk) for the new detention center,” said Trace Creek CEO Sam Howard. “As a local company, it is always a pleasure to compete for projects close to home, especially having employees that live within the community.”

Rowan County Fiscal Court Judge-Executive Jim Nickell attributed Trace Creek’s professional reputation and extensive experience working in Rowan County as factors in awarding the project. Trace Creek has recently completed several projects in Rowan County, including several for Morehead State University.

“Trace Creek provides world-class construction expertise for every project we accept. “ Howard said. “Comprehensive construction management, from project inception to county turnover, is integral to both the project’s success and safety of the workers that will construct it.”

Howard said “This is an important project for the community.  It demands high quality, strict budgetary control and on time completion.  Trace Creek has built its reputation on doing all of those things. Every member of our team is personally committed to doing it again on this project.”

“We look upon it as an honor and a sacred trust to build a facility that protects the citizens of Rowan County while providing a safe, secure and humane environment for those housed within the facility.” Howard said. “Our goal is to build a state-of-the facility for Rowan County and its citizens.”
