They used its by-product for surface treatment production in the surrounding counties and municipalities throughout the state of Georgia. In 1968, George Shropshire, Jr. invested in the area’s first asphalt production plant in Cartersville Georgia. Interstate I-75 brought growth and opportunity, which encouraged the development of Bartow County and surrounding communities. Connections from Chattanooga to Atlanta brought growth to the company, establishing it as one of the major paving contractors in Georgia.
In 1998 Bartow Paving invested in a state-of-the-art asphalt production facility and continued to grow in the construction development and construction business. With the up-and-down's in the economy over the last few years, the company has grown and has diversified into all sections of construction development.
