Sharpe Bros. has earned commendations for its two area asphalt plants from the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA).

The Diamond Achievement Commendation for Excellence in Hot-Mix Asphalt Plant/Site Operations – also known as the Green Diamond Award – recognizes superior performance in appearance, operations, environmental practices, safety, permitting and regulatory compliance, and community relations.

Both Sharpe Bros. plants – one on Lebanon Road, the other on Burnt Poplar Road – earned the commendations.

“This is an honor in which a company and a community can take great pride,” said NAPA Chairman Ron White. “It demonstrates a corporate commitment to excellence, with a community focus.”

Serving the Greensboro area since 1980, Sharpe Bros. is a division of Vecellio & Grogan, a family owned and operated heavy/highway contractor established in 1938.

Both Sharpe Bros. asphalt plants – on Lebanon Road, above, and on Burnt Poplar Road, below – received "Diamond Achievement" commendations for appearance, operations, environmental practices, safety, permitting and regulatory compliance, and community relations.
