McMAHON wins ACPA National Gold Award Congratulations to McMAHON and the rest of the project team for receiving the National Gold Award from the American Concrete Pavement Association for the Monroe Avenue (State Highway 57) Reconstruction Project in Green Bay. The first-place award, in the Municipal Streets and Intersections category, recognizes the project for outstanding design and construction. This $5.2 million project involved reconstructing a 1-mile urban segment of Monroe Avenue which carries portions of three main state highways as a principal arterial on the U.S. Interstate System. The existing four-lane roadway, constructed in 1948, had never been resurfaced. The project was constructed in phases to accommodate the 38 businesses, schools, churches and other facilities as well as the traffic at 13 intersections. Careful staging was incorporated to account not only for vehicular traffic, but pedestrian traffic as well. This was a pilot project for the Federal Highway Administration's Every Day Counts initiative, which helped reduce utility conflicts and resulted in completion ahead of schedule. In addition to concrete paving, the project consisted of a new storm sewer system, five signalized intersections, decorative street lights, landscaping and colored pavement and sidewalk. Denny Lamers President Construction Co., Inc. are designing buildings that have a residential feel to them — also in keeping up with the baby boomer preferences. "ey want to be relevant, healthy and live as long as they can and be connected to their loved ones," says Tim Rinn, market leader in the senior living team for Consolidated Construction. "ings as simple as Internet and Wi-Fi make a huge difference for someone looking to downsize and make their lives simpler by moving into a senior living community." Rinn says around Wisconsin, more buildings that resemble luxury homes and apartments will begin to take shape because this is what the upcoming elder population wants. "ere is a huge demand for senior living even nationally," Rinn says. "Making really good residential communities that offer a variety of health-care services for seniors will be an effort that continues to grow over the next 10 years and it's our job to push the envelope and make these buildings really great." Banking on the future Even though long-term health care insurance is not new to the market, awareness is increasing rapidly. A common fear among those planning for retirement is going to a care facility and spending down all their assets. Similar to other insurance policies, long-term care insurance helps cover the cost of care beyond a predetermined period and covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Although this option might seem like the best investment for some, Davids says you need to be well aware of your financial situation before signing on the dotted line. "e bottom line to all of this is really knowing your financial situation and what option would fit best for you and your family," Davids says.
