LEXINGTON, KY — Gray earned a 2025 Build Kentucky Award from the Associated General Contractors of Kentucky (AGC of Kentucky). The LOTTE Cathode Foil Manufacturing Plant won in the Design-Build Over $65 Million category. This facility is a key electric vehicle battery supplier, providing key components for the industry.

Additionally, Jack Duvall, Senior Site Manager with Gray, was awarded the 2025 AGC of Kentucky Safety Excellence Award in the Superintendent category. This award honors site personnel whose primary responsibilities are not centered on safety yet demonstrate exceptional commitment to protecting their teams and improving job sites. Duvall's proactive approach and influence across project teams have helped elevate safety standards and foster a culture where safety is a shared responsibility.

"It's an honor to see our team recognized for both project excellence and safety leadership," said Rebekah Gray, President & CEO of Gray Construction and outgoing President of AGC of Kentucky. "The Build Kentucky Award for the LOTTE project reflects the power of our design-build approach and the dedication of our team and partners. Jack's recognition for safety leadership speaks to what matters most — protecting our people and creating job sites where everyone goes home safely each day. I'm incredibly proud of the standard our teams continue to set across Kentucky."
