1st Generation
In 1941, Thomas incorporated the company as Thomas M. Sheedy Paving, Inc. Due to America's involvement in WWII, the timing created a challenge for the young company. Thomas continued to operate during the war, performing construction at the Defense Construction Supply Center in Whitehall and Fort Hayes in Columbus. He also did private work as the material became available.
