A new LinkedIn discussion group just for those involved in concrete parking lot construction was launched last month, reports NRMCA Vice President, National Resources, Jon Hansen. "The idea of a national gathering place for contractors, designers and those who supply material and equipment for concrete parking lots came from a meeting in January when a group of industry partners met to figure out the best way to bring resources together specific to the design and construction of concrete parking lots," he explained. "The LinkedIn Concrete Parking Lot Construction Group is the result."

Here are the highlights of the group’s mission:

• The LinkedIn Concrete Parking Lot Construction Group is for those who construct, design and supply equipment and material for the construction of concrete parking lots.

• Topics for discussion will relate to new parking lot construction, rehabilitation of existing asphalt parking lots with concrete overlays, and repair and maintenance of concrete parking lots.

• The group is a collaboration of NRMCA, ASCC and ACPA members and is managed by NRMCA.

If your business currently involves concrete parking lots or if you want to learn about building, designing and maintaining concrete parking lots, the Concrete Parking Lot Construction Group is the place to go.
