Waldorf, Maryland— Chaney Enterprises President, Francis H. Chaney, II, was recently presented with the National Aggregates Association Excellence in Community Service Award. Chaney Enterprises was the unanimous winner of this prestigious award in light of their unique interest and exceptional participation in community affairs.

The National Aggregates Association is the largest international trade association in the world representing companies engaged in the direct production of sand, gravel, crushed and broken stone. Member companies produce in excess of 375 million tons of material per year. The National Aggregates Association has assumed a leading role in protecting and advancing interests of the aggregate industry, developing engineering and research programs to improve the use of the products of the industry, and working with public and private organizations on the development and the establishment of reasonable standards for after-treatment of mined areas.

Chaney Enterprises is a family owned and operated business, which was founded in 1962, and is the leading supplier of Concrete, Sand, Gravel, and Concrete Block in Southern Maryland.
