These facilities actively contribute to the maintenance of the environment in and around their operations as evidenced by a corporate commitment to the exemplary use of environmental controls and systems.

The NSSGA Community Relations award, presented to Granite’s Rowley Quarry in Yakima, Washington, recognizes the team’s active engagement with their community through a variety of platforms including participating in local community and government forums, interacting with local media, and organizing tours and educational events for students and elected officials.
