The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) announced the recipients of the NSSGA Community Relations Excellence Awards. The Community Relations Excellence Awards recognizes producers’ achievements through the involvement in their community to enhance the public’s perception of their business, facility and the industry. NSSGA recognized a total of five Gold, eight Silver and 37 Bronze awards.
“A strong relationship with our communities provides value to the facility and the citizens around it. I am pleased to congratulate the winners of the Community Relations Excellence Awards today,” said NSSGA President and CEO Michael Johnson. “These awards allow us to celebrate those companies and their teams who build ties within their local communities that advance individuals’ knowledge about aggregates and the benefits that the industry provides to their neighborhoods and the country as a whole.”
The Gold Community Relations Excellence Award winners, as listed below, were recognized as part of NSSGA’s Legislative & Policy Forum being held Sept. 26-29. The top-scoring Gold award winner was revealed on stage during the ceremony, as 474 Sand Mine of CEMEX was recognized as the Platinum Award winner for Community Relations Excellence.
NSSGA also awarded the National Stars of Excellence Awards, which is presented to an operation with multiple Gold awards in Safety, Community Relations or Environmental Excellence within a five-year period. In the 2021 year, NSSGA has one member with two different facilities that achieved this honor: CEMEX’s 474 Sand Mine for its 2021 Community Relations Excellence and 2018 Environmental Excellence awards.
CEMEX was also awarded Two Stars of Excellence for its Brooksville Quarry’s 2021 Community Relations Excellence and 2021 Environmental Excellence awards. A complete listing of the 2021 Awards of Excellence winners can be found at nssga.org/awards.
