Vermont Business Magazine The Associated General Contractors of Vermont marked its 90th anniversary with a special Southern Celebration hosted at Casella Construction’s newly expanded facility in Pittsford on Thursday. This milestone event honors nine decades of leadership, advocacy, and innovation in Vermont’s construction industry. For 90 years AGC/VT has led the way as Vermont's construction association. AGC/VT has been recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in training and advocacy over 30 times in these 90 years.

The celebration featured AGC/VT's atypical "Burgers and Brews", Island Ice Cream and a ceremonial ribbon cutting at Casella Construction’s Pittsford location, symbolizing both the growth of one of Vermont’s leading construction firms and the enduring strength of the AGC/VT community. Industry leaders, local officials, and AGC/VT members gathered to reflect on the association’s legacy and look ahead to the future of construction in Vermont.

“AGC/VT has been the voice and the foundation of Vermont’s construction industry for 90 years, continuously working to Build a Better Vermont” said Richard Wobby, Jr. Executive Vice President. “This celebration is not only about honoring our past, but also about recognizing the people and companies—like Casella Construction—who are building Vermont’s future.”
