Sunrock to Invest Over $5 Million and Create 50 New Jobs in Person County

Carolina Sunrock LLC, headquartered in Butner, NC, has announced a proposed expansion into Person County. The company has entered into an agreement with Hall's Agri-Business LLC and the Hall and Berryhill families to secure property in the Woodsdale area of the community. Sunrock Chairman, Bryan Pfohl, stated, "We selected Person County for our proposed expansion due to the availability of raw materials, its proximity to our market area and the cooperation accorded to us by local government officials. The area has a pro-business attitude and Sunrock is extremely excited to participate in the future growth and economic development of Person County."

The company plans to construct three separate facilities for asphalt, concrete and stone processing. Sunrock will quarry its own materials on site, subject to approval of the necessary permits.

With corporate offices in Butner, Sunrock has additional locations in Kittrell, Durham, Wake Forest and at the Raleigh Durham International Airport.

Sunrock is a locally owned and operated producer of construction materials with over fifty years of experience in the industry. Sunrock has operated in North Carolina for over twenty years and currently employs 162 people in its Granville, Wake, Durham and Vance County locations. The company plans an initial investment of over $5 Million at its new Person County location and will create in excess of 50 new jobs for area residents when the construction of all three facilities has been completed. The project is scheduled to commence during the second quarter of 2005.
