New Columbia business makes history Saturday morning Mid State Ready Mix is a successor to Columbia Ready Mix. The first pour as a new enterprise was made today at the new corporate headquarters building for Grider Properties, which will soon be occupied by a publicly traded company which one of the largest in its field in the United States. William and Carolyn Burton, owners. Michael Mitchum will manage the new ready mix operation Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener Mid-State Ready Mix, a new company owned William and Carolyn Burton (Burton Stone, Fairplay Road, Columbia, KY. made its first pour today at the Grider Properties corporate office building nearing completion on the Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass. The MSRM will be managed by the Burton's son-in-law, husband of his daughter Tiffany, Michael Mitchum. Michael Mitchum is a member of multi-generational construction families. His father is Mike Mitchum, his grandfather is Lewis Garrison, and he worked as a pipeline foreman with them at Garrison Construction. His great grandfather, Elvin Corbin was also in the construction business. Mid State Ready Mix recently bought Columbia Ready Mix at 50 Kassem Road, near the Russell Creek Bridge on Green Hills Road. Mitchum was on site in the morning with many other principals and onlookers, including Wm. Burton, Mr. Tommy, and Andy Withers and Jay Melton of Withers Geothermal. The new building overlooks woodland on property Mr. Grider owns which extend from near Henson Farms' silo, to Dillon Street on the south side of the bypass. Across the bypass, on the north side, there is more acreage. Russell Creek makes a big part of a circle around it. Mr. Grider is hoping tp have the buliding ready for occcupancy soon as possible. Construction has been impeded by local red tape, with the added problem of a jurisdictional or territorial problem securing electricity. One utility has powerlines on three sides of the building, but told Mr. Grider they couldn't supply his power needs because he's not in their area, and the utility which will deliver electricity has to construct lines from half-a-mile away to reach him. For the time being, the work continues with an alternative supply of electricity. He's hoping the occupants of the building will make an announcement soon.
