About 20 modular classroom units under construction in Georgia will be shipped to Haiti with more on the way as a result of a partnership between Clayton Homes Inc. and a former U.S. president who is leading rebuilding efforts in the earthquake-devastated country.
The Blount County-based manufacturer of modular homes and buildings has signed a $1 million contract with the Clinton Foundation to provide the classrooms. The company contacted former President Bill Clinton and his foundation offering to assist. Kevin Clayton, Clayton Homes CEO, said the company is discounting the costs of the classrooms and modular housing it also plans to provide for the mission.
