Wiregrass Construction recently completed the Statarius LeaderStep 7, a 9-month program to cultivate effective leaders. Our participants included individuals from various departments such as operations, personnel, accounting, estimating, and safety. These areas are the foundation of our organization, and this program provided our team with the tools and strategies to enhance their leadership skills and support the teams they manage.

At Wiregrass Construction, we prioritize investing in our people and unlocking their potential. The LeaderStep 7 program explores critical aspects of leadership, such as strengths, mindsets, emotional intelligence, coaching, and team building. Our team developed essential thinking abilities throughout the program and applied their new leadership skills to make informed decisions. They also had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from different departments, drawing insights from their collective experiences.

By strengthening our leadership skills, we can cultivate stronger and more meaningful relationships with our employees and propel the growth and success of our organization. We understand that our employees are the backbone of our achievements, and we remain committed to providing ongoing professional development opportunities for all team members. These opportunities are what make Wiregrass Construction the exceptional company it is today.

Wiregrass Construction is setting a precedent for sustainable asphalt mix production in Alabama. As the first in the state to publicly document its mixes’ environmental footprint through EPDs, our commitment to responsible stewardship and transparency is evident. Using the National Asphalt Pavement Association’s Emerald Eco-Label tool and life cycle assessment, we can showcase the sustainability of our materials. Our plant operators and mix designers continually strive towards greater efficiencies and the increased use of recycled materials to minimize our environmental impact. We are proud to lead the way in sustainable asphalt mix production in Alabama.

It is with great pleasure that we extend our warmest congratulations to Josh Miller, recently recognized by the Alabama Associated General Contractors at their esteemed AGC’s 40 Under 40 event.

His unwavering passion and commitment to his work are palpable in every aspect of his endeavors, and this recognition is a testament to his hard work and steadfast dedication. As a dedicated team member, we are proud to have Josh working alongside us and look forward to seeing him achieve only greater things in the future.

Wiregrass Construction is excited to announce that it has extended its footprint into the fast-growing Nashville metro area. With the addition of three hot-mix asphalt plants and more than 40 talented builders, Wiregrass is well-positioned to serve the growing needs of the Nashville market.

We have maintained operations within close proximity to Tennessee for many years, and we know this expansion will help us continue to build and serve new markets.

We proudly announce that Chase Burnette, our Asphalt Plant Operator for our River Falls Division, has been named Firefighter of the Year at the 2022 Alabama Association of Volunteer Fire Departments 45th Annual Conference.

This prestigious award is given to a firefighter who has demonstrated exceptional courage, bravery, and dedication in the line of duty. Burnette was awarded for an incident where he and a fellow volunteer, Caleb Hammett, rescued three young girls who had been swept dangerously into the Conecuh River. Without hesitation, Burnette and Hammett strategically descended the bank and secured the girls back to safety.

Burnette’s commitment to serving our company and our community is an inspiration to us all. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
