DOTHAN, Ala., April 1, 2026 — In a significant move to bolster its operations in Tennessee, Construction Partners, Inc. (CPI) has completed the acquisition of Four Star Paving, LLC. With more than two decades of experience, Four Star is a recognized leader in asphalt paving services within the Nashville metropolitan area. This acquisition marks a major step forward in CPI's strategy to enhance its service offerings and respond to the increasing demand for infrastructure development in the region.

Construction Partners, Inc. is a vertically integrated civil infrastructure firm, primarily focused on the construction and maintenance of roadways. Its operations span key markets across the Sunbelt, including Alabama, Florida, and now Tennessee with this latest acquisition. Four Star Paving, known for delivering high-quality paving solutions, serves a diverse clientele, comprising municipal, industrial, and commercial customers.

Fred J. (Jule) Smith, III, President and CEO of CPI, expressed his enthusiasm about the transaction, stating, "We are excited to welcome Four Star to our Tennessee platform company, Pavement Restorations, Inc. This acquisition not only strengthens our vertical integration of services but also enhances our capabilities across the region. With Four Star's skilled workforce joining our team, we are well-positioned to meet the growing demands for construction services in middle Tennessee."

The Nashville area has witnessed significant growth over the past few years, with numerous public and private development projects underway. CPI's acquisition of Four Star aims to leverage this growth momentum. The inclusion of Four Star’s experienced personnel is expected to enhance the overall construction capacity of Pavement Restorations, Inc., allowing the company to participate actively in both current and future infrastructure projects.

As part of this transaction, Robert Loudermilk, Brock Lodge, Clint Hensley, and the entire Four Star team will integrate into CPI’s growing network of companies. This merger symbolizes CPI's commitment to supporting regional growth and fulfilling the needs of an expanding customer base.

Four Star Paving has garnered a strong reputation in the Nashville area, leveraging its expertise to execute a range of asphalt paving projects efficiently. The partnership will not only benefit the companies involved but also contribute to the enhancement of Tennessee’s transportation infrastructure.

CPI operates a robust network of hot-mix asphalt plants, aggregate facilities, and liquid asphalt terminals, focusing on the repair, maintenance, and construction of surface infrastructure. With public projects making up the majority of its operations—including roadways, bridges, airport runways, and interstate highways—the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on increased infrastructure spending in the upcoming years.

In summary, the acquisition of Four Star Paving marks a pivotal moment for Construction Partners, Inc. as it seeks to expand its influence and capabilities in the competitive Tennessee market.
