Since the beginnings of the Utah Asphalt Pavement Association (UAPA), the goal was to establish regional councils that provide members with a localized, closer-to-home voice and provide leadership opportunities for members across the state.

Despite the challenges we have seen with COVID-19, UAPA saw the launch of the Northern Utah Regional Council this last fall.

The chair of the Northern Council, Craig Fabrizio, is immensely pleased. As one of the first charter members of UAPA, Craig Fabrizio notes that the regional councils have been on the association “to do” list for quite a while. “While I don’t think the needs, per se, of northern Utah cities, counties, and pavement contractors is that much different from the rest of our state, we wanted to provide a local forum for the discussion of all things asphalt. That is important because it’s more relevant when the discussions happen here, where we live and work. It also allows us to grow leadership from areas that we may not reach otherwise,” says Fabrizio.
