DOTHAN, Ala., Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROAD) (the "Company" or "CPI"), a vertically integrated civil infrastructure company specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways across five southeastern states, today announced that it has acquired Good Hope Contracting Co., Inc. and related entities, all headquartered in Cullman, Alabama. As a result of the acquisition, the Company added four hot-mix asphalt plants, four aggregate facilities, and a diverse fleet of trucks and construction equipment to support its operations in central and northern Alabama. In addition, the Company acquired Daurity Springs Quarry, a crushed stone and aggregates facility located near Goldston, North Carolina.
Fred J. (Jule) Smith, III, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "These acquisitions represent significant expansion and enhanced vertical integration within our existing geographical footprint that will generate continued growth for our company. As a consolidator in a fragmented industry, we continue to gain momentum through acquiring quality companies and assets to broaden CPI's relative market share and depth of service."
Commenting on the Alabama acquisition, John L. Harper, Senior Vice President of the Company and President of Wiregrass Construction Company, its Alabama platform company, stated, "Today we have substantially strengthened our capabilities in several key operational aspects, including project acquisition and execution, aggregates sourcing, and transportation logistics through the markets and resources we added in this transaction. At CPI, we believe people are our greatest asset, and we are excited to welcome more than 180 talented, hard-working employees to support our growth in central and northern Alabama. Good Hope Contracting and the Heatherly family have built a great company and successfully operated for many years. We enthusiastically welcome Darrin Heatherly and his entire team to our organization."

This aggregate facility is uniquely and strategically located in the rapidly-growing Sandhills region of North Carolina, and we expect to use the aggregates mined from this facility to supply multiple asphalt plants that we acquired last fall. The facility's proximity to our current operations enhances our project bidding opportunities and we believe will contribute to future growth in these markets."
