TO CONGRATULATE THE SOUTH CAROLINA ASPHALT PAVEMENT 
ASSOCIATION and its members UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS sixtieth ANNIVERSARY AND 
TO COMMEND the organization FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE 
PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize the South Carolina Asphalt 
Pavement Association as it celebrates this important milestone; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association is a nonprofit trade association 
representing asphalt pavement producers and suppliers throughout the Palmetto 
State. The association was incorporated in November 1966 and will celebrate its 
sixtieth anniversary in 2026; and

Whereas, since its 
founding, the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association has represented the 
companies and professionals responsible for building and maintaining much of 
the roadway infrastructure that connects South Carolina's communities, including 
interstate highways, state highways, local roads, streets, parking facilities, 
and airport pavements; and

Whereas, infrastructure 
investment is a key driver of economic growth in South Carolina, with recent 
economic analysis estimating that current infrastructure investments will 
generate more than fifty-six billion dollars in economic output and support 
tens of thousands of jobs across the State; and

Whereas, the passage of 
Act 40 in 2017 marked South Carolina's historic commitment to improving and 
modernizing its transportation system, and the asphalt paving industry has 
played a critical role in delivering these infrastructure improvements for the 
benefit of motorists, businesses, and communities across the Palmetto State; 
and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association generate a significant economic 
impact in South Carolina each year through the production of asphalt materials, 
construction services, equipment operations, and related industries; and

Whereas, through 
collaboration with the South Carolina Department of Transportation and other 
partners, the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association promotes high 
standards in asphalt pavement quality, performance, and safety while advancing 
innovative materials, technologies, and construction practices that improve the 
durability and efficiency of the State's transportation network; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina asphalt industry continues to advance modern pavement technologies, 
including improved mix designs, performance testing, and sustainable 
construction methods that extend pavement life and improve long-term value for 
taxpayers; and

Whereas, asphalt 
pavement is one of the most recycled materials in America, and the South 
Carolina asphalt industry has demonstrated leadership in environmental 
stewardship by incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement into new roadway 
construction, conserving natural resources, reducing waste, and lowering the 
environmental footprint of infrastructure projects; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association and its members continue to strengthen 
South Carolina's economy, invest in communities, and support the development of 
safe, durable, and sustainable transportation infrastructure throughout the 
State; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of the 
members of the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association to serving the 
people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
congratulate the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association and its members upon 
the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary and commend the organization for its 
many years of dedicated service to the people and the State of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the South Carolina Asphalt 
Pavement Association.
