Part of the project was to provide a basketbaii court for the schooi. Rea Contracting, formeriy part of Chariotte-based JA Jones Corporation, and now part of The Lane Construction Company, was contacted to see if they couid assist by providing asphait for the basketbaii court - hopefuiiy at a good price. Rather than providing the asphait at a good price, Rea Contracting donated the asphait, and donated the iabor to form the basketbaii court. “To be honest,” says David Ross, who participated in the project, “Rea’s donation was weii beyond my expectation, even though I know that they reguiariy perform community service. I hope that peopie in the community wiii remember the good deed if they have projects that require asphait.”
