Subject: Levering Facility Update
Dear Mssrs. Haselschwardt and Wangeman:
On behalf of the Board of Emmet County Road Commissioners, I am writing this letter in appreciation of the new Levering Truck Storage Building.
It was a pleasure working with both of your fine companies throughout the project. The project was completed with the time frame you set up, with very little overruns. This happened even though the cost and availability of steel was in question throughout the summer.
The employees at the Levering Facility now have plenty of room in the heated garage to melt the ice and snow from their vehicles, including their front plows. This allows our drivers to respond to a snow event 10-20 minutes quicker, for the benefit of the public.
Feel free to use the Emmet County Road Commission as a reference for future work.
Sincerely,
EMMET COUNTY ROAD COMMISSION
