Resolution No. 1, introduced by Senator Green, proclaims February 18, 2025, as Oklahoma Aggregates Day at the Capitol. The resolution highlights the significant economic impact of the aggregates industry in Oklahoma, which includes essential materials such as rock, sand, gravel, and gypsum. These materials are crucial for constructing and maintaining the state's infrastructure, including highways, roads, bridges, and buildings. The aggregates industry is valued at nearly $1 billion, supporting approximately 8,450 jobs and providing $457 million in annual employee compensation, with wages that are 20% higher than the state average.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of aggregates in supporting various sectors, including the Department of Transportation, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, and local governments, as well as real estate developers and homebuilders. By declaring a specific day to celebrate this industry, the Oklahoma State Senate aims to recognize and honor the vital role that aggregates play in the state's economy and infrastructure development. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on March 10, 2025.
