Shopping Center Trade Show Again Nets Big Results for NRMCA

NRMCA’s Local Paving Team highlighted concrete overlays of asphalt parking lots at last week’s International Conference of Shopping Centers (ICSC) RECon held in Las Vegas for the fourth year and the results keep getting better, reports Senior Vice President, Local Paving, Jon Hansen.

"Three years ago we switched the message in the booth to just concrete overlays of asphalt parking lots," he said. "The interest increased dramatically and each year since we have gathered more project leads than the year before. During the past year, we did a Design Assistance Program (DAP) workup for a shopping center owner that stopped during the 2016 conference. During the year, an American Society of Concrete Contractors member who is experienced in concrete overlays, visited the site and prepared a bid for the owner. And this year we arranged a meeting in the booth of the contractor and owner. The meeting was very productive and looks favorable to turn into a number of overlay projects for the owners many locations."

Other Local Paving Team members participating in the conference booth included Phil Kresge, vice president, local paving and Brian Killingsworth, executive vice president | division head, local paving.
