TARGET GROWTH MARKETS

Van Dyke Civil is evaluating civil infrastructure companies across high-growth U.S. regions where population growth, infrastructure investment, horizontal development, and fragmented local markets create opportunities for long-term platform expansion.

Van Dyke Civil is actively evaluating civil infrastructure and site development companies across high‑growth U.S. regions where population expansion, sustained infrastructure investment, and fragmented local contractor ecosystems create meaningful opportunities for long‑term platform building. We focus on markets where demand for horizontal development, utility and roadway upgrades, and large‑scale community growth is accelerating—regions where strong local operators form the backbone of development but often lack the capital, systems, or scale to capture the full market potential.

Our strategy centers on identifying markets with durable, multi‑decade growth drivers: expanding suburbs, logistics corridors, industrial reshoring, and municipalities modernizing aging infrastructure. These environments create ideal conditions for a disciplined, well‑capitalized platform to partner with established local companies, strengthen operations, and expand service capabilities while preserving the relationships and reputations that make these businesses essential to their communities.

Acquisition Region Breakdown

Recommended v1 structure for organizing target sourcing and future platform growth.

REGION

STATES

SUGGESTED USE / MESSAGE

Southeast Core – Priority 1

GA, FL, AL, SC, NC, TN

Initial platform focus. Start here because Georgia / Florida / Carolinas / Tennessee create a practical operating radius for civil, grading, excavation, utilities, trucking, and roll-off adjacency.

Adjacent Southeast – Priority 2

MS, LA, AR, KY, VA, WV

Natural follow-on expansion once the first platform is stable. Supports bolt-ons and contiguous market density.

Texas / South Central – Priority 2

TX, OK

Large infrastructure and private development market. Strong standalone regional platform candidate.

Mid-Atlantic / Northeast – Priority 3

MD, DE, DC, PA, NJ, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, ME

Selective expansion market. More fragmented regulation/labor conditions; better after stronger platform infrastructure exists.

Midwest / Great Lakes – Priority 3

OH, IN, IL, MI, WI, MN, IA, MO

Good industrial, sitework, and infrastructure base. Best targeted through a strong local operator or add-on cluster.

Plains- Priority 4

KS, NE, SD, ND

Lower-density coverage area. Better as adjacency to Midwest/Texas platforms than as first-entry market.

Mountain West – Priority 4

CO, UT, AZ, NV, NM, ID, MT, WY

Growth markets but wider geography. Target selectively when a strong operator or strategic anchor opportunity appears.

Pacific / West Coast – Priority 4

CA, OR, WA, AK, HI

Large but complex labor/regulatory markets. Better as later-stage platform opportunity unless a unique deal appears.
