NRMCA's state promotion colleague in Kentucky Finley Messick recently learned that pervious concrete is making further inroads in the Bluegrass State. National retail chain Dollar General's Elizabethtown store was the first unit to feature pervious concrete. Now Messick, executive director for the Kentucky Ready-Mixed Concrete Association, says that the retailer's Bowling Green store also features pervious placement.

"The work at the Bowling Green location was performed by a member of the Tennessee Concrete Association (TCA) under the guidance of TCA's Alan Sparkman," Messick noted. "This was a solid example of national and state-level cooperation that led to a successful pour."
