Norristown, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/20/2019 --Norristown Brick—the leading supplier of masonry, landscaping and hardscaping materials in Montgomery County and its surrounding areas— together with partner EP Henry, was thrilled to donate 16,000 square feet of pavers to the Elmwood Park Zoo for its 95th anniversary celebration. In an effort to create a sustainable and beautiful addition to the already upscale Elmwood Park Zoo, Norristown Brick teamed up with paver manufacturer, EP Henry, to help bring this donation to fruition.

Founded in 1986 by Russell Lyons, Norristown Brick has been deeply rooted in its community for over thirty years. Russ, who is still the President and Owner of Norristown Brick, prides himself in having a business that gets involved with its community and supports the people of Montgomery County.

Prior to this installation, the walkways at Elmwood Park Zoo consisted of asphalt, but with a goal to offer an even higher quality experience to its 720,000 yearly visitors, the asphalt walkways were replaced with eco-friendly pavers. Thanks to the donation from Norristown Brick and EP Henry —this goal was able to be achieved.

"None of this would be possible without Norristown Brick and EP Henry," said Al Zone, Executive Director and CEO of Elmwood Park Zoo. "Russ is embedded in the community, and has a personal tie to it, so we knew that he would be the ideal partner to help us turn this dream into a reality--and we couldn't have been more right!"

The project kicked off in early April and took approximately one month to conclude. The kindness of Norristown Brick and EP Henry's donation is being honored through signage across the newly installed paths. Being just a stone's throw away from Elmwood Park Zoo, Norristown Brick is proud to have been able to be a part of this exciting community project.
