In the past week and on at least three separate occasions, in remarks about “fixing up” Washington, DC, President Donald Trump made comments that might not have made front-page headlines in most national newspapers. But in the asphalt industry, they certainly did. Why? 

Because the President specifically mentioned asphalt as a solution to improving communities – acknowledging its significant role in building, maintaining, and improving America’s roads. For those of us dedicated to this work, it wasn’t a throwaway line. It was recognition of the material, the people, and the partnerships that keep America moving.
