It doesn’t appear there are any suspects at this time.<\/p>\n “This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hate or racism in our workplace,” the Tennessee Builders Alliance said.<\/p>\n “We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work, and launched an investigation.”<\/p>\n The Tennessee Builders Alliance said there is currently a reward being offered for any information that helps find who is responsible.
