About Us
The MCA was created 70 years ago to represent the collective interests of construction companies. As the construction profession has grown more diverse, more complex and more vulnerable to political decisions, the MCA has been stretched to meet the multitude of expectations and demands.
Because the availability and cost of sand and gravel resources in Montana is pivotal to all construction in the state, we are committed to finding reasonable, practical legislative and regulatory approaches to permitting gravel operations that protect public health, safety and the environment.
The Montana Contractors' Association stands ready to assist. As a state, Montana must find a realistic balance between economic growth and environmental protection. We cannot simply say "no" every time there is opposition to a legitimate project. We need to work together to meet the needs of our growing communities.
