William Fox Elementary School remains boarded nearly two years after a fire destroyed much of the building. In late November, the Richmond City School Board approved a $30 million contract from Gulf Seaboard General Contractors Inc., the sole bidder, for the reconstruction of the building. The building permit and trade permit applications are currently under review by the city administration, with contract details to be finalized and executed in the next two weeks.
