Construction of the Cadiz Farmers Market “Put a Roof On It” project will be delayed following the collapse of some of the beams.
Cadiz City officials reported the collapse occurred shortly after 6:00 as construction crews were working on the building shell. A portion of the roof trusses fell, but the main structure remained intact. There were no injuries reported to any of the workers that were at the site.
Officials say they are not sure what caused the collapse or how much damage was done to the trusses.
The contractor was scheduled to complete the project by mid-October. City officials have not said how much a delay the collapse will cause.
The “Put a Roof On It” project was planned by the 2021-22 Trigg County Leadership Class. The project is being funded by community donations, with a matching grant from the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board.
