Join transportation leaders, innovators, and builders at the 2024 VTCA Spring Transportation Construction Conference and Trade Show, the premier event for shaping the future of Virginia’s transportation infrastructure!  

The Virginia General Assembly wrapped up on time and with a state budget for the Governor to consider…or reject. Businesses had some worries going into this year. With plenty of new legislators and Democrats controlling both chambers, many speculated a raucous session. However, it turned out to be smooth and mostly quiet on the transportation construction side, but there were big policy moves that may have lasting impacts on how Virginia is governed.

The picturesque landscape of Augusta County, Virginia is dotted with quarries and mining operations. These sand and stone quarries are vital in the local economy, providing raw materials for construction and infrastructure projects. However, recent discussions about mining setbacks have sparked heated debates between residents and industry stakeholders.

The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) Headquarters routinely conducts stakeholder calls. These calls were traditionally nationwide calls and very general in content. Recently MSHA leadership encouraged the MSHA district offices to conduct stakeholder meetings in their districts with operators within their purview.  

Attention all local employers!
