95% of the US Now Uses 811 - CGA to Honor Initial National Launch Partner AGC and Other Stakeholders

Several major national organizations joined AGC to partner with the Common Ground Alliance (CGA)  in helping to make America a safer place. 811 is now in use in most states as the number to call to reach your local one-call center.  CGA will be hosting a press conference on May 5th, 2008 at the Press Club in Washington D.C. to highlight the one year anniversary of the 811 national awareness campaign, kick off "Safe Digging Month"  and thank AGC and the other National Launch Partners

These organizations have all stepped up to the plate and have contributed significant in-kind services and resources throughout the 811 campaign.   811 National Launch Partners represent major industries of prime importance to the nation's underground utility infrastructure:
