Fredericksburg, Va. -- Luck Stone Corporation, headquartered in Richmond, Va., recently presented its second annual Environmental Award for on-site customers to APAC Asphalt and Cardinal Concrete, both located at Luck’s Spotsylvania plant. The purpose of the award is to recognize and reward two on-site customers (one asphalt and one concrete producer) each year for their plant’s appearance, environmental practices, and community involvement.

Luck Stone has conducted annual environmental audits of its on-site customers for nearly 20 years. “This award is Luck Stone’s way of applauding customers for their diligence in maintaining their properties according to Luck Stone standards,” says John LeGore, regional vice president of Luck Stone’s Northern Region Division. “Coupled with the environmental award, we recognize them for being involved in their local communities,” Legore added.

Luck Stone’s environmental audit covers environmental compliance, site appearance, permitting and paperwork, employee training, and active community involvement. Bobby Miles accepted the award on behalf of Cardinal Concrete, a Springfield, Va.-based company. “We are truly proud of the honor given to us by Luck Stone,” said Miles. “It’s rewarding to be recognized for our hard work, community service and continued commitment to being an environmental ambassador. I hope our dedication to being a friend of the environment continues to stand out.”

When accepting the award on behalf of APAC, located in Manassas, Va., Gary Wright commented that it is the APAC way to be a responsible corporate citizen and good neighbor. “It’s a privilege to be honored for our commitment to protecting public safety and environmental stewardship,” Wright said.

Luck Stone is the largest privately owned and operated aggregates company in the U.S. and is the 12th largest producer of crushed stone in the nation. Luck Stone is committed to environmental stewardship and community involvement and has been recognized nationally for its conservation and community relations programs.
