A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS ninetieth ANNIVERSARY AND TO COMMEND the company FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. as it celebrates this important milestone; and

 

Whereas, L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. has been a trusted provider of industrial, residential, and commercial hauling services throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Their expertise spans a wide variety of materials, and they are equipped to accommodate special requests. As a fully licensed and insured hauling service, they are dedicated to ensuring satisfaction with every job; and

 

Whereas, in 1935, Luther Alexander (L.A.) Barrier began his hauling business with local rock quarries and contractors who needed stone and topsoil hauled. As Mr. Barrier's reputation for reliability and diligence spread, so did the demand for his hauling services. His business continued to grow, and in 1968, L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. relocated to its current location in Lexington; and

 

Whereas, this move marked a new chapter in the company's history, solidifying its presence in the region and allowing for further expansion in the South Carolina hauling industry. Over the decades, the company has remained a family-owned business, passing down the values of hard work, integrity, and dedication from generation to generation. Now in its third generation of family ownership, L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. has become a stalwart of the hauling services industry in the Southeast; and

 

Whereas, the company's commitment to excellence is reflected in their affiliations and certifications. As proud members of the South Carolina Trucking Association and the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, they stay connected with industry standards and community values. Furthermore, their certification with the South Carolina Department of Transportation as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise underscores their dedication to diversity and inclusivity in their operations; and

 

Whereas, in 2006, the company saw a significant milestone when Lisa Tyson was appointed as president. Under her leadership, L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. has continued to flourish, building on the legacy of innovation and service established by L.A. Barrier himself. Ms. Tyson's vision and commitment have guided the company through the complexities of modern business while staying true to the core values that have defined them from the beginning; and

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment of L. A. Barrier & Son, Inc. to serving the people and the State of South Carolina.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc. upon the occasion of its ninetieth anniversary and commend the company for its many years of dedicated service to the people and the State of South Carolina.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the president of L.A. Barrier & Son, Inc., Lisa Tyson.
