Richmond, KY – Branscum Construction proudly joined Madison County Schools in celebrating the official Ribbon Cutting and Open House for the new Madison County Middle School on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
Serving as Construction Manager, Branscum Construction worked in close partnership with the Madison County Board of Education, Superintendent Mr. Randy Neeley, previous Superintendent Dr. David Gilliam, and Chris Clark, Director of New Construction, to bring this modern, student-centered facility to life. The event marked a major milestone for the district and community as the school prepares to welcome students for the 2025–2026 academic year.
“We are honored to have been entrusted with managing the construction of this landmark project,” said Jonathan Smith, Vice President of Operations at Branscum Construction. “Working alongside Madison County Schools and Clotfelter Samokar has been a true privilege.
