Ashley Smith Construction wants to extend a huge congratulations to project manager Stephen Weigand for his exceptional work managing the construction of the new Charters of Freedom monument located right in front of the Louisiana State Capitol building in Baton Rouge. This incredible monument provides a permanent, life-size display of the nation’s foundational documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It serves as a beautiful educational landmark, allowing the public to view and reflect on the very principles that define American freedom and democracy without having to travel to Washington, D.C.
Our entire team at Ashley Smith Construction is deeply thankful to have had the opportunity to build this deeply important project for Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser’s agencies and the citizens of Louisiana to enjoy for generations to come. Congratulations again to Stephen and everyone involved in bringing this landmark to life. Keep up the great work.
