A Georgia-based contractor built the Riverside parking garage that partially collapsed Tuesday. Action News Jax discovered that Batson-Cook was also the company building an Atlanta garage that partially collapsed in 2020.
According to the City of Jacksonville’s inspections page, the permit was granted in 2005.
In a statement, a representative said, “Batson-Cook has not worked on this project since 2007 and, as Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Chief Keith Powers has already stated, the inspection and continued upkeep of the parking structure are the responsibility of the owner. We are and will continue to assist with this investigation. We stand by our work and our safety practices. We’d also like to extend our thanks to the first responders who, as this incident showed, rush to keep people safe daily.
