Construction contractor Amason & Associates is literally waiting on puddles to dry before it can finish the final stages of the long-awaited Jim Pearson Elementary School renovation.

Alexander City Schools superintendent Dr. Keith Lankford said the project was about 85 percent complete Tuesday, with most of the delays contributed to the outside paving and landscaping as the contractor waits for dry soil to proceed.
