Thank you to Ric Neubert, President and Don Rosenbarger, Vice-President (Delta Companies) for hosting southeast Missouri legislators at their Poplar Bluff facilities. Tours of the quarry, asphalt, and concrete facilities (including an explosive display) added a hands-on approach to learning about their complex and varied business products/services! We are fortunate to have the home office of this outstanding company located in Cape! www.deltacos.com
