The Sterling Heights Regional Chamber of Commerce welcomed Alumalight LLC at 24652 21 Mile Rd. Macomb Township on June 9 with a formal Ribbon Cutting. Owner Gary Pizzimenti thanks everyone, including all Chamber Members and staff, for this terrific day and recognition from everyone that attended. Special thanks to Macomb County Sheriff Tony Wickersham for stopping by and having a beautiful message to all that attended. Gary said it was really appreciated!
Alumalight moved to Macomb Township on 21 Mile just west of Gratiot in October 2016 and specializes in commercial and industrial lighting that is second to none says Gary. When in the market for new lights or upgrading your old light system for a more efficient light program, you need to come out and see what we're offering. Our all new LED Factory or Warehouse Interior High Bay lights and Retrofit Office lights are made in Michigan and qualify for rebate from DTE Energy, and Alumalight is a DTE trade Ally. Owner Gary says you can go to his website,
www.alumalight.com
, to view some of the High Bays.

M-59 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATE FROM MDOT:
We had another productive week on M-59 last week. As of Monday night, we have at least one layer of new pavement down on EB M-59. The closure at Schoenherr is going well and we are still working towards switching EB traffic to the new pavement next week.
Here's another interesting way that we are ensuring that the pavement we are placing will last. Hot-mix asphalt (HMA, what the new roadway is made of) must be placed at temperatures often exceeding 250
o
F. It is extremely important that all of the pavement is hot, with no cold spots. One of the ways that our contractor is ensuring that this happens is to use a material transfer device. This device is placed in the front of the paver (see
PHOTO
) and ensures that all the HMA gets from the truck to the paver efficiently and thoroughly. This prevents some of the HMA from sitting in the side of the front of paver and cooling off before it can get placed on the roadway. This is just one of the many things that we are doing on M-59 to make sure that the short term inconvenience really pays off in the end.
