A ready supply of crushed stone, sand and gravel is necessary to support future economic development. The biggest concern facing the aggregates industry in coming years is obtaining zoning favorable to the extraction of aggregates. Near urban areas where construction materials are critically needed, it is important to allow appropriate zoning and the necessary permits to assure a continued supply of aggregates.
The industry is committed to supplying cost effective construction aggregate materials and to educating the public that aggregates are essential and can be extracted in a responsible, environmentally sound manner.
