V&G Puts Finishing Touches On Rockingham Bypass

North Carolina-based Sharpe Bros. had a productive fourth quarter as it finished a large number of resurfacing projects in Alamance & Guilford Counties. They have also been working on some larger projects as a subcontractor. Those include a two-mile new construction and resurfacing project in Randolph County, and a 1.6 mile new construction project in Winston-Salem.

Crews are also working to complete a paving project at Shiloh Airport. The nearly $600,000 project began in March 2024 and is set to finish in the Spring of 2025. A separate project at Smith Reynolds Airport was completed in November of 2024. The $7.7 million taxiway rehabilitation project included milling, paving, striping, and electrical.

Vecellio & Grogan has completed more than seven miles of bypass in Rockingham, NC, part of a new four-lane, mediandivided freeway (future I-73/I-74 bypass).

The project required 7.3 million cu. yds. of excavation, and included approximately 80 ft. of fill to bring the entire area up to road grade after completion of the underground utitilities.

To ensure proper drainage of the site, six box culverts were constructed, including a triple-box culvert which was the last to be completed.

The $146 million project began in 2021 and is one of the largest roadway projects in Vecellio & Grogan's vast portfolio of work. The new roadway is scheduled to open in Q1 2025.

There Is No Substitute For Experience

A Word From Leo A. Vecellio, Jr. Vecellio Group, Inc. President, Chairman and CEO

2

In any business, experience is important to being successful, and it is critically important in the multiple industries supported by Vecellio Group companies. That is why they all place a heavy emphasis on training, career development, and employee retention… all key aspects of building an experienced workforce.

I take great pride in the fact that, in 2024, Vecellio Group team members have more than 10,500 years of combined experience working within the road and marine construction, quarry production, and petroleum/energy services industries. For our management teams, it means knowing we have loyal and capable teams who always do the right thing. For our customers, it means the highest quality work is being performed on their projects.

For our employees, it means an opportunity to grow professionally and have a stable, long-term career.

In 2024, management made significant additions to employee programs that include an enhancement to the company's 401k plan moving to 100% match for up to 4% of employee contributions. We also added cash awards for various employee service anniversaries, and enhanced vacation policies.

These programs were created for the benefit of all team members. We encourage every member to take advantage of all financial and health savings programs for their benefit, as well as the benefit of their families.

Every year we recognize our long-term team members who are celebrating 20, 30, 40, and even 50 years with the Company. Individuals who have achieved these accomplishments in 2024 are recognized later in this issue. Please join us in congratulating all those celebrating anniversaries over the past year.

IN M E M O R I A M The Vecellio Group extends deepest sympathies to the family, friends and coworkers of those we lost during the end of the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2024.

Marshall Ross Bowles, Sr.

Jose A. Torres (left) was recognized for 20 years of service in December. Due to a calculation error in the system, his actual start date was accidently missed. Glenn Pratt, Superintendent of Operations at V&G, presented Jose with his certificate of recognition.

Jose started his career with Vecellio & Grogan in 2000 and traveled in support of projects from North Carolina to Virginia and West Virginia in his initial years.

His skills and leadership abilities led him to being promoted to Foreman in 2022. His attention to detail, and focus on quality and safety, make Jose a valued asset to the Vecellio & Grogan team, and we regret the delay in recognizing his 20 years of service.

The Vecellio Group proudly provides Equal Em­ ployment Opportunity (EEO) for all persons, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, disability, or status as a qualified Vietnam-era, special-disabled, or other protected veteran.

The Company maintains workplaces that are drug-free and do not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment or racial bias.

Marshall "Marsh" Bowles passed away in December at the age of 69. Marsh was a proud member of the Vecenergy family, working at Port Everglades as a Facility Manager with South Florida Petroleum Services, and retiring as Manager of Marketing Services.

Marsh was a mentor and friend to many on the Vecenergy team. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.

In December, Ranger's Central Division employees made it their mission to help make the holidays a little brighter for local disadvantaged children.

Employees in the Winter Garden and Ft. Pierce, FL offices went on a shopping spree for new toys, books, games, and stuffed animals to

help children in their areas experience some joy and happiness that they all deserve during the holiday season.

Their heartfelt and selfless efforts helped to bring smiles to young faces throughout the area at a time when they need it the most. Thank you to all who participated in making this possible.
