During or about 1976-77, they purchased an asphalt plant for the purpose of manufacturing for their own use in various asphalt paving projects. In April of 1977, Delacy bought his father’s stock, becoming 100% owner of this corporation. His background in the business has evolved around all phases of this type of construction, including mechanics, equipment operation, engineering, bidding, and management. He has brought the company from a one-man operation to an employee enrollment of 100 with sales from $500,000 to an excess of $20 million. Over the years, he has been involved in several civic activities including the sponsorship of the Havana National Tractor Pull, little and adult league ball games, Silver Chief Booster, Golden Chief Booster and member of the President’s Club at Florida State University.
