Little, Director Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department Subject: Resolution Honoring Vulcan Materials Company Vulcan Materials Company has long been an active leader in the growth and development of Frank Liske Park. Since 1986 Vulcan has donated over $30,000.00 through price reductions and materials for Frank Liske Park projects, including parking lots, the amphitheater, and walking/jogging trails. The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission voted on March 27, 1997, to name the proposed Frank Liske Park perimeter trail in honor of Vulcan Materials Company in appreciation of their contributions. In September 1997, Vulcan Materials Company announced that Cabarrus County will receive an in-kind donation of 5,000 tons of aggregate base course stone to use in the 1998 construction of parking lots at W.W. Flowe Park. Vulcan also donated the ABC stone and rip rap for the erosion control at W.W. Flowe Park. The total value of their donation is $20,222.25. As stated above, Vulcan Materials Company has donated $50,000.00 in cost savings to park projects at W.W. Flowe and Frank Liske Parks. On October 7, 1997, the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission formally named a new picnic shelter at Frank Liske Park for Vulcan Matierals Company for their contribution to the citizens of Cabarrus County. On behalf of the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department we greatly applaud Vulcans Materials Company for their generous support toward new leisure opportunities in Cabarrus County. Vulcan Materials Company is an excellent example of partnership between the private sector and public government in the support of public park and recreation opportunities.
