History
The first affiliated chapter of the
American Concrete
Pavement Association (ACPA), the Northeast Chapter was formed
in April, 1987 to promote quality concrete pavements
in the 13-state Northeast quadrant of the U.S. -- from
Virginia to Maine, from West Virginia to New York. In
January, 2006, to better serve our members and
customers, the Northeast Chapter divided into three
independent Chapters which are the
Mid-Atlantic,
New
York State, and
Pennsylvania Chapters. About the
ACPA
The 105 Chapter members are contractors, material suppliers,
ready mix executives, aggregate producers, affiliates,
consultants, equipment suppliers, and cement company
officers.
Joining the Chapter delivers multiple
rewards.
First and foremost, the
American Concrete
Pavement Association is the leading national association representing
concrete pavement contractors, cement companies, ready
mix producers, equipment and material manufacturers
and suppliers. ACPA is organized to address common needs,
solve common problems and accomplish goals related to
research, market development, design, construction and
best practices of portland cement concrete pavements.
The Chapter has pavement
professionals living and working on day to day regional
pavement opportunities.
Chapter staff members are in daily touch
with state DOT and FHWA professionals, stage regular
concrete pavement workshops, bus tours and seminars,
provide technical assistance and marketing initiatives-including
rehabilitation-to transportation authorities, municipalities,
private companies, architects and engineers.
As the local voice of the industry, the Chapter
serves as the recognized force leading local initiatives
on behalf of ACPA members. The Chapter is superbly positioned

Mission
Working in partnership with its members , the Chapter's
mission is to aggressively promote quality concrete
