Earlier this month, SCAPA was able to participate in the 7th Annual APWA/ASCE Upstate Joint Conference in Greenville. The full-day event was chock-full of infrastructure presentations and panels, discussing topics such as roads, bridges, workforce development, supply chain, and funding.

SCAPA Executive Director Jayson Jordan and Technical Director Kimberly Lyons attended the ACEC-SC on December 7. They had a booth at the event, which the two used to promote the importance and benefits of using asphalt on South Carolina roads. They also promoted the APA's Performance for a Lifetime and PAVEXpress. There were 734 attendees at the conference, which provided a great platform. Check out pictures from the event here.
