Spotsylvania County, Va. – Luck Stone Corporation announced today the opening of its Massaponax Plant on State Rt. 1, located next to the River Run Business Center, a newly constructed office park in Spotsylvania County developed by Luck Properties, the real estate development division for Luck Stone. The Massaponax Plant is the first greenfield site that Luck Stone has opened in Virginia since the early 1990’s, and is one of two plants the company operates in Spotsylvania County.

“We are very excited to provide one of the safest, cleanest, and efficient operations possible to our customers and community,” states Timothy Light, Regional Operations Manager for Luck Stone’s Spotsylvania plants. “This plant is critically needed to help our other facilities meet the high demand for quality crushed stone in the region.”

Ralph Covington, who has been with Luck Stone for 13 years in a variety of operational roles and was most recently plant manager at the company’s Spotsylvania Plant, will be the new plant manager for Massaponax. Currently, the plant employs 5 people to run the operation, but expects that number to grow over the next few years.

“I am very proud to be managing this site and am excited about the opportunity to work with everyone in the community,” says Covington. “My goal is to build positive relationships with our neighbors and further Luck Stone’s mission to provide innovative products and business practices that enhance the lives or our customers and the communities where we serve.”
