Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???
All this siding will be for is a transload that is taking some of the business away from Amerhart in Williamsburg. Apparently some former Amerhart guys are trying to stick it to them and get their product unloaded here instead of buying it from the competition. And this is precisely what I was talk...

Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???

They have stacks of new shipping containers on the property (you can see some of them in the background in KC's photos). Not su...

Re: Highway construction at Trowbridge
Thanks for the pics. I am not sure where the EB signal is, but, yes, I imagine it's work for the US-127 reconstruction. At Trowbridge, they are moving the ramp back, considerably, to offer a smoother turn: Screenshot 2024-02-07 at 15-18-09 I-496_US-127 Public Meeting Presentation - I496-US127-Public...
