Who Are We? |
|
The Missouri Land Improvement Contractors Association (LICA) was founded in 1941 by a group of primarily terracing contractors in an attempt to promote the proper management of soil and water, with the ultimate goal being the preservation of Missouri's precious topsoil. Other contractors soon began to take notice of those Missouri contractors' success and formed their own state LICA organizations. The National LICA was formed in 1951. Although LICA's underlying activity is still topsoil conservation, the organization has undergone many transformations over the years. Today, we represent small, family-owned construction companies from around the state who perform the following types of work: |
| Cable & Utility Installation | On Site Waste Management | Ponds or Dams |
| Erosion Control | Reclamation | Earthmoving & Land Clearing |
| Directional Boring | Road Boring/Drainage | Excavating or Grading |
| Drainage & Irrigation | Septic Systems | Terraces & Waterways |
| Landscaping | Site Preparation/Development | Water Management |
| Land Leveling | Sewer/ Water/Underground Utilities | Trucking & Hauling |
| Open Ditch Work |
|
Missouri LICA is composed of six
geographic districts, with each District meeting regularly throughout
the year to address local issues. Each District maintains an independent
set of officers and membership. In addition, the Missouri LICA state chapter is a member of National LICA's
MLICA offers three types of membership:
s "Active
Contractors" for those engaged in owning and
operating equipment for land s "Company Associates" for vendors or suppliers of machinery, materials, insurance, etc.
s "Supporting
Members" for those interested in the professional
conservation of soil and water |
