HAGERSTOWN- Four SGI sites, including one in Blue Ridge Summit, have been recognized by the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association for their environmental and community relations efforts. SGI is based in Hagerstown.
Earning a Bronze Community Relations Excellence Award were: Annapolis Plant in Annapolis, Mo.; Charmian Plant in Blue Ridge Summit, Pa.; Ione Plant in Ione, Ca.; and Kremlin Plant in Pembine, Wisc.
The Community Relations Excellence Award recognizes NSSGA member companies who make significant efforts to support the communities in which they operate.

“SGI prioritizes the well-being of our environment by continuing to enhance the controls and systems we have in place across our sites,” noted Dunlap.
The announcement of the awards came during NSSGA’s annual Legislative and Policy Forum held at the end of September.
