Gray Construction Celebrated for Project Excellence and Safety Leadership

Gray Construction has recently gained notable recognition at the Associated General Contractors of Kentucky's annual conference. The company was awarded the 2025 Build Kentucky Award in the Design-Build Over $65 Million category, specifically for their work on the LOTTE Cathode Foil Manufacturing Plant. This facility plays a crucial role in the electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain by providing essential components for this rapidly growing technology sector.

The achievement of Gray in the LOTTE project exemplifies the effectiveness of their design-build methodology, where design, engineering, and construction services are delivered by a unified team. This integrated approach maximizes operational efficiency, enhances collaboration, and ultimately results in high-performance outcomes.

In addition to this prestigious project accolade, Jack Duvall, a Senior Site Manager at Gray, was honored with the 2025 AGC of Kentucky Safety Excellence Award in the Superintendent category. This specific recognition celebrates individuals who may not be in safety-focused roles but show extraordinary commitment to ensuring jobsite safety and protecting their teams.

Duvall’s leadership is a reflection of Gray’s committed safety culture, which is centered on accountability, proactive engagement, and the unwavering belief that every employee should return home safely at the end of each workday. His dedicated efforts have not only upheld safety standards but also cultivated a culture where safety is considered a shared responsibility among all team members.

Rebekah Gray, the President and CEO of Gray Construction and outgoing President of AGC of Kentucky, expressed her pride in the company's achievements: "It’s an honor to see our team recognized for both project excellence and safety leadership. The Build Kentucky Award for the LOTTE project highlights the strength and effectiveness of our design-build approach, showcasing the commitment of our dedicated team and partners. Furthermore, Jack’s recognition for safety leadership underscores what truly matters—safeguarding our people and ensuring that everyone goes home safely each day. I am incredibly proud of the high standards our teams are setting throughout Kentucky."

The AGC of Kentucky is committed to the continuous improvement of the construction industry within the state by promoting the skills, integrity, and responsibilities of the professionals involved in building Kentucky.
