Wayne County, Michigan
Following a recent inspection of the bridge piers, this week, Wayne County mobilized dive crews to perform a comprehensive, detailed assessment of the current conditions of the bridge foundations for needed repairs. With their findings, the goal is to develop a repair plan for construction in 2021.
So sad this happened earlier today. Many Grosse Ile boaters stow their boats in that building.

A retail store, library, or museum may permit one customer at a time to enter if strict adherence to the 30% total occupancy limit would otherwise result in closure. Retail stores must establish lines to regulate entry and checkout, with markings for patrons to enable them to stand at least six feet apart from one another while waiting.
Exercise facilities, such as gymnasiums, fitness centers are limited to 25% occupancy limits, with a requirement of 12 ft. of space between exercise stations. Group fitness gatherings are prohibited.
Outpatient health-care facilities, veterinary clinics, personal care services, and other businesses - waiting room gatherings are prohibited unless a system is established to allow for 6 feet of distancing between patients (with a system in place that allows patients to wait in their car, if possible).

Meet Me On Macomb - Downtown Grosse Ile
It’s with sadness that I announce we will cancel the 5th annual Ladies Night scheduled for November 13th. Since this is primarily an indoor event and cases appear to be rising, it would be challenging to meet the current restrictions and keep customers and employees safe. A number of key businesses also made decision to not participate because of Covid and concern for their staff. If restrictions are lifted we will plan to reschedule to spring. Many of our businesses will still offer some activities both in person and via social media in the coming weeks and we will keep posted. We hope the community will support them this holiday season. We also plan to have some version of Island Glow adapted to the pandemic.
