This has been an exciting year for Leon Williams Contractors. As 2019 draws to a close, we\u2019re taking the time to reflect on all the great projects that we\u2019ve had the opportunity to work on for our clients.<\/p>\n

From the new Pellissippi State Community College welding shop to Wings Over Knoxville, the chain\u2019s first location in Tennessee, this year has been filled with exciting firsts, great renovations and even the beginning of work on Etowah\u2019s new city hall. Here are some highlights of a great year:<\/p>\n

A New Face for Etowah Government<\/h2>\n

For the last few years, Etowah\u2019s city government has been working from a small office north of town. Soon, though, they\u2019ll be able to move into a new city hall, located next door to the historic L&N railroad depot. The look of the new building reflects the historic train station that\u2019s been a southeastern landmark for more than a century. We\u2019re excited to continue working on this project over the coming months and can\u2019t wait until we open the doors on it next year.<\/p>\n

Dining Halls, Welding Shops and Biotech, Oh My!<\/h2>\n

\"PellissippiIt was a great year for construction projects and renovations, and we\u2019re proud to have completed several for East Tennessee businesses and educational institutions. These projects included the new office of Allevia Technology and a new medical testing center for the Molecular Pathology Laboratory Network in Maryville, a fresh take on Carson-Newman University\u2019s Stokely dining hall in Jefferson City and the conversion of a loading dock on Pellissippi State\u2019s Strawberry Plains campus into a new welding shop and training space.<\/p>\n

Helping Franchise Brands Expand<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Throughout 2019, we continued to work with restaurant brands to expand their locations across East Tennessee. We built out the location for the new Wings Over Knoxville, the first Wings Over location in Tennessee, which held its grand opening in September.<\/p>\n

Over in Lenoir City, we built a brand-new Which Wich Superior Sandwiches franchise location that offers the region\u2019s first look at the concept\u2019s new branding and interior design. This is the third location we\u2019ve built for the franchise owner.<\/p>\n

Farmers and Fireworks<\/h2>\n

At the first of the year, we prepared the former Goody\u2019s location in Foothills Mall in Maryville to serve as a location for Farmers Home Furniture, a Georgia-based regional furniture chain.<\/p>\n

We also helped get the Fireworks Superstore in Kodak, Tennessee, back in business after a landslide had damaged the facility, destroying some walls and interior spaces. We repaired the damage, and the store was able to reopen.<\/p>\n

A Modern Collaboration for a Sacred Cause\"\"<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re grateful to have had the chance to work with Studio Four Design on a project on Foothills Church campus, a brand new 32,000-square foot space that opened last year. This year, we were recognized for our work on that project with the 2019 Solomon Award<\/a> for Church Design, an honor we share with our friends at Studio Four and Foothills Church. Faith is something we\u2019re passionate about at Leon Williams, and we\u2019re always happy to help a congregation create a building that fits their needs and glorifies their purpose.<\/p>\n

More to Come in 2020<\/h2>\n

We love helping our East Tennessee neighbors with their building projects, no matter how large or small, and we can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s in store as we move into the new decade. If you\u2019ve seen our work and want to talk about your construction needs in the new year, we\u2019d love to chat.
