Aggregate Materials and Road Maintenance Materials

Quarry products and road maintenance materials are used regularly by various city departments for street paving and repairs, sidewalk work, ground stabilization, and landscaping. Future expenditures (i.e. products purchased, quantities needed, and amount spent per supplier) will depend on the requirements of future projects performed by the city.
