Whereas, since its founding, TN Construction Company has designed and built projects as diverse as warehouses, automobile dealerships, office buildings, banks, churches, retail shops, recreational buildings, distribution centers, industrial buildings, and custom homes; and

Whereas, Mr. Strickland’s involvement in the Spartanburg area extends far beyond his professional duties and includes public service on the Board of Trustees of Spartanburg County School District No. 7, the Board of Trustees of the Daniel Morgan Vocational School, and service as chairman of the City of Spartanburg Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals; and

Whereas, he has also served in such civic and professional organizations as the Spartanburg Evening Lions Club where he has served as President, the Lions International District 32A, Habitat for Humanity of Spartanburg, and the Systems Builders Association, Carolinas Region, where he has served as President; and
