With little more than a beat-up Allison Chalmers Model D grader, Virgil K. Knowlton started V. K. Knowlton Construction over 50 years ago. Through the years, the company has grown to over 250 construction equipment operators, estimators, and staff, with a multi-million dollar assembly of machinery and equipment. Mr. Knowlton’s two sons, Scott and Sam have worked their way up-through-the-ranks with the company, and are both vice presidents which assures the continuity of the family-run approach that’s been in place since its founding.
