Manassas Company Contributes To 3rd Presidential Inauguration

MANASSAS, VA — Manassas is home to a recently-relocated company set to work its third presidential inauguration, according to the city's economic development office.

Scaffolding Solutions, which now bases its Northern Virginia operations in Manassas, provides the scaffolding stands at the Capitol during the inaugurations. The company helped with the last two inaugurations of President Joe Biden in 2021 and former President Donald Trump in 2017. Trump will be inaugurated to serve a new term as president on Jan. 20.

As part of the 2021 inauguration, Scaffolding Solutions had to inspect the scaffolding to ensure safety after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. The company documented the aftermath at the Capitol and its repairs in a video.

Scaffolding Solutions is also the U.S. Treasury's primary contractor. In Manassas, the company provided scaffolding during the city's restoration of Annaburg Manor.

The company says the Manassas location gives it close access to the D.C. market and key infrastructure. The company serves markets in the D.C., Richmond, Charlotte and Raleigh metro areas.

"Finding facilities that fit our business well proved more difficult than we anticipated, and the City delivered with the quality space we were seeking," said Scaffolding Solutions division manager Steve Ott via a city newsletter. "In addition, we think that the City is supportive of construction and service-oriented companies like ours."

A ribbon cutting for Scaffolding Solutions' new Manassas location will be held at 10 a.m. on Jan. 16 at 8643 Phoenix Drive, Manassas.
