Big acquisition in Cache County...

Big acquisition in Cache County...  The LeGrand Johnson company is a big employer in Cache County, and a major construction firm.  They work on everything from homes to roads.  They did the excavation work for our shed, and paved our driveway.  Our friend and neighbor, Tim D., worked there for many years before he retired as their paving supervisor.  It was a family-owned business, well-known and respected by locals.

Now comes the news that LeGrand Johnson has been acquired by Summit Materials, a much larger conglomerate that went public earlier this year.  The Summit management says that not much will change, but ... that's what the acquiring company's management always says in such a situation :)  Locals are watching with concern, as the LeGrand Johnson company is such a large and important part of the business community here...
