Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - It was just over two years ago that a fire ripped through the historic William Fox Elementary School in the Fan District, and work on the rebuild is progressing.

The construction company handling the interior work is waiting for the go ahead to get started.


In October of last year, Richmond Public Schools began the bidding process for contractors to rebuild the interior of the school. Gulf Seaboard General Contractors, the sole bidder, was selected and agreed with the city on a price of $30 million.

Since the fire, students have been using the former Clark Springs Elementary building, but Richmond school officials hope to open the rebuilt Fox Elementary in the fall of 2025.
