“We are so excited to have been a part of this important project,” said Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction. “Never has the need for affordable, accessible housing been so great in our country and I am so happy that our expertise helped make this project possible.” Atlantis has a 40-year history advocating for Americans with disabilities.
