Sept. 6, 2024 – Politicians need to see plants. To that end, California Construction and Industrial Minerals Association (CalCIMA) teamed with Assembly member Juan Carrillo for a tour of member facilities in Assembly District 39 (Palmdale). Participants talked about innovations in decarbonization, sustainability, distance matters, impacts of policies like Joshua Tree on the cost of public infrastructure, and mineral availability. In addition to Assembly member Carrillo and his staff, participants included Sen. Durazo, Assembly members Tom Lackey and Blanca Rubio, along with representatives from Sen. Scott Wilk’s office and several legislative staff members. Tour stops included Vulcan Materials Co., Holliday Rock Co., Inc., Granite Construction, and Robertson’s Ready Mix.
