The Midwest's construction sand and gravel operations projecting 700,000 to 799,999 metric tons per year reveal a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. The series indicates a decline in value from 9.38 in 2024 to 7.43 in 2028. Year-on-year assessments show incremental reductions: from 2024 to 2025, it's a drop of 5.44%; from 2025 to 2026, a 5.52% decrease; and 2026 to 2027, a decrease of 5.73%.
