Grand Rapids Shop Opens at 6 a.m. Starting Monday, September 17
Beginning Monday, September 17, 2018, the Grand Rapids Shop and Yard office will open at 6:00 a.m. daily. Foremen and Right Hand Men must call, text or email Jeremy Schieber by 2:30 p.m. the day before for orders that need to be prepared for pick-up.
Why the change? There is a low level of traffic during the 5 a.m. hour. During the winter season, you may see Yard staff out clearing walkways, plowing or salting before 6 a.m. Please be mindful of their safety by driving slowly and obeying all directional signage.
If you have questions, please contact Jeremy Schieber, Yard Superintendent by calling 616-808-1131.
