Trillacorpe Construction Company announced today two separate awards to Athena Construction
Group for interior work at the new polytrauma unit at the VA McGuire Medical Center in
Richmond VA. Trillacorpe Construction is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned construction
company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan and is the General Contractor on this project.
Frank Campanaro, President of Trillacorpe had this to say, “My company has a long standing
commitment to veterans. Partnering with Athena Construction Group on this project fortifies this
commitment. We can think of no better company to join with us in this endeavor.”

“I suspect in the history of government contracting this is a first. A first for a Service-Disabled
Veteran-Owned company to partner with another Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned company to
build a state of the art facility for disabled veterans. We are immensely proud and honored to be
part of this endeavor. Athena Construction Group considers it to be a sacred duty to provide
exceptional interior finishes to our injured colleagues. We think the quality of the work will convey
a message to the patients that “you are worth the very best we have to offer” and we thank you
for everything you have done for America, said Amber Peebles, President of Athena Construction
Group.
