MIDLAND, VA – May 04, 2022 – Smith-Midland Corporation (NASDAQ: SMID) provider of innovative, high-quality proprietary and patented precast concrete products and systems today announced it has finalized the terms of the barrier buy-back agreement from the largest barrier supply contract in the company’s history. The company was able to negotiate an amendment to the agreement, acquiring an additional 115,000 linear feet of barrier, increasing the buy-back agreement to 325,000 linear feet. The total cost of the final agreement will cost approximately $5 million.
