Tom Cory came to Jacksonville in 1968 and along with Paul Ramm and Brad Blakeway, formed Arkansas precast corporation.

His hard work and leadership helped enable their company to prosper and to employ over 100 people, precast concrete from their plant adorns many beautiful buildings across the country. Arkansas precast corporation continues to be an important economic factor in our community today.
