State Road in Pittsfield Township to close for a couple months near the NEW Wal-Mart

Yep, State Road between Old State Road and US-12 in September and October, will be closed to through traffic to make improvements on the roadway for the new Wal-Mart which will open at State Road and Michigan Avenue.

You get inconvenienced, and Wal-Mart makes the profit. It's how America works now. Your local governments are subsidiaries of huge corporations and will bend over backwards to give them what they want to 9 times out of 10. Before you start the 'but they bring jobs' lecture, yeah, they lock people in their stores, have been sued and shown to force workers to work for free, and since they won't give the employees insurance or full 40 hour a week jobs in most cases they ALSO teach them how to apply for state assistance. Yep, Wal-Mart teaches employees exactly where to go and what to fill out to get state assistance. NICE.

Think on that while you find a different route out that way this fall.
