JFB Construction (JFB) announced that it has executed a $18.8 million contract to act as general contractor for the first phase of construction of a public high school, HS, in DeSoto County, Florida. “This contract is for the first of three phases of the construction and continuation of the existing campus of the high school of approximately 100,000 square feet, over 40 acres, for an additional 1379 students,” said CEO, Joseph F. Basile, III. “This project is one of the most important contract wins for our company and the educational contracting segment of JFB, with a total project value of $100 million. It is a tremendous accomplishment for our company as it demonstrates our flexibility in being able to meet the varying needs of multiple sectors and client types. In addition, the construction of public schools will become a new avenue for JFB as the state of Florida continues preparation for the influx of residents and families from all over the country. We will be working with Building Tomorrow’s Schools, a school developer, which has coordinated the construction of over 40 schools in Florida.
