For more than 75 years, LICA contractors have paved the way for our country’s growth & expansion

1941

A group of Missouri contractors in the pursuit of a common goal; preserving precious topsoil, founded The Land Improvement Contractors Association.

1941-1950

Contractors in other states take notice of the Missouri group’s success and begin to form their own LICA chapters.

1951

In an effort to organize and consolidate efforts to conserve the land and water resources across the country, a national association, The Land Improvement Contracts of America (LICA) was formed.

1959

The Nebraska chapter is formed

today, LICA is the fastest growing trade association in the industry
