On October 8, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders visited APAC-Central’s operations in Northwest Arkansas, touring the Sharps Quarry in Springdale.

The event began with remarks from Vice President of Arkansas and Oklahoma Operations Murry Cline, who welcomed Governor Sanders and attendees before she spoke about the importance of infrastructure in Arkansas and the dedicated employees who help make it possible.

During her visit, Governor Sanders met with employees from across the business, enjoyed a catfish cookout prepared by the team, and gained firsthand insight into the company’s aggregate operations. The highlight of the day came when she participated in an aggregate blast, pressing the “deadman switch” to initiate a rock extraction and witness the process in action.

Thank you to our employees, local and state government officials, and all attendees who helped make the event a success.

We appreciate Governor Sanders’ recognition of the essential work our teams perform every day to support infrastructure projects and strengthen the communities we serve.
