Mayor Bazzi and franchise owner Maureen Winfree discuss the coming improvement to the Van Born corridor.

We were honored to have Dearborn Heights Mayor Bazzi visit our warehouse. The mayor and his team visited our warehouse on Van Born Road as part of his on going Business Tour campaign.

It was exciting to show off our Dearborn Heights office, equipment and, of course, our team. We had a great conversation about our hopes for the city's future, the various ways we engage in the city outside of work and why we choice this spot in the southeast corner of the city - because it's 15 minutes to Downtown Detroit, Western Wayne County and any Downriver community.

We are proud to be a part of the Dearborn Heights community. The future is bright for the Van Born Corridor and we are excited to have a front row sit to it.

Michigan offers a wealth of natural resources for our enjoyment, none more enjoyable than our water. Dearborn is particularly fortunate to be part of the Rouge River Watershed. Friends of the Rouge, a Dearborn based organization promoting stewardship of the Rouge River ecosystem, provided some easy ways we can all help the watershed.

• If you must use fertilizer, use a slow release formula.

• Be sure to keep fertilizer off paved surfaces and out of drainage paths.

• Don’t dump chemicals, paints, oils into storm drains.

• Repair vehicles in areas where leaks and spills cannot flow into storm drains.

• Clean up animal waste before it rains.

• Don’t use your hose as broom. Sweep debris off your paved areas.
