$1.3 trillion. That's the size of the outdoor recreation economy in America.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis just released the numbers β outdoor recreation supports 5.2 million jobs and makes up nearly 2.4% of the entire U.S. economy.

The Copponex Group helps build those spaces.
From the surfaces under your feet to the structures overhead β every surface, every phase β our crew is part of what makes outdoor recreation possible in communities across the Southeast.
