The Critical Infrastructure Materials Coalition advocates for data-driven policies that keep construction materials affordable and accessible while Utah grows, ensuring that smart planning prevents the supply shortages and cost spikes that burden families and businesses in other rapidly growing states.

Our mission is straightforward: support policies that maintain Utah's competitive advantage in construction costs, protect existing aggregate operations from unnecessary regulatory barriers, and ensure future supply through strategic planning. We believe Utah's approach—protecting existing operations, gathering comprehensive data, and balancing expansion with community input—serves as a national model for resource policy done right.

Executive Director David Kallas Leads strategic advocacy efforts and coordinates policy engagement across Utah's aggregate industry. Brings extensive experience in government relations and coalition building to advance sensible infrastructure materials policy.
