Celebration in Michigan

There’s cause for celebration in Michigan. The Michigan Aggregates Association (MAA) is celebrating 50 years of serving the aggregate industry this year. The association provides support to members on legislative, regulatory and legal issues that impact the industry. It also provides training and educational opportunities, while the MAA Foundation annually provides scholarships for college students who are studying in a field related to the aggregate industry. There are about 325 surface mines throughout the state that employ more than 8,000 people. A large number of aggregate mines are family owned and operated. Members of MAA will be invited to celebrate the anniversary during the summer meeting scheduled for July 15-18 at the Inn at Bay Harbor in Bay Harbor, Mich. -- Posted by Brian Richesson
