SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION IN THE OWENS VALLEY

Grinding Rock Aggregates (GRA) is a sand and gravel quarry company based in Independence, California.

We are owned and operated by the Fort Independence Indian Community.

Building the Future of Owens Valley

Grinding Rock Aggregates is working to become the number one choice for construction companies involved in building-out the Owens Valley. Project needs are likely to include general highway, dam, aqueduct, and environmental remediation in Inyo County along the eastern side of the Sierra-Nevada mountain range.

We’re competing through quality, customer service, and price.

 

Meeting Demand

We have identified market demand for a minimum of five million tons of aggregate products over the next decade.

Grinding Rock Aggregates will become a leading supplier of crushed granite, dimension granite, gravels, aggregates, sand, rocks and rip raps–working with small and large construction companies across the Owen’s Valley. Key regulations in California support GRA’s business development efforts to become a preferred vendor.

 

Creating Jobs and Economic Growth

The Aggregates industry is a key employer across the United States, and burgeoning demand in the Owens Valley will generate jobs for the local community.

Generating new supplies of construction materials will also drive the need for construction jobs, which in turn will drive economic development and growth across the Owens Valley.

 

Sustainability

As an Indian Community, we place great emphasis on caring for the environment and the community.

Grinding Rock Aggregates is firmly committed to sustainability by actively engaging the community and integrating sustainable business practices wherever possible.

Near-term projects include a park, a reservoir, and several other projects that address the needs of the community, including housing. We will also cultivate a working environment that delivers a sustainable path for earning a living and caring for the environment. Our goal is to always listen to our partners, employees, and customers.
