“We’re excited to add this 230-acre strategic reserve, which will support our continued expansion in the Virginia market and begin a strong community engagement in New Kent County,” said Cedric Barthelemy, head of the Mid-Atlantic region for Holcim, who will be managing the new operations alongside Donnie Bostic, area manager South Virginia, and Corey Johnson, general manager Mid-Atlantic region.
