TO OUR FRIENDS
FIN
COLBORNE TOWNSHIP
The Lavis name pas been a part of the Town of Clinton
business scene since 1882.
Our gravel business was established in 1941. In 1946, our
crushing plant and bulldozer were added.
In 1957 we set up a Hot Mix Asphalt plant at our Holmesville
pit to replace the cold mix asphalt previously in use in Huron.
Since then, we've produced over 1.5 million tons of asphalt
and paved over 500 miles of road in Huron County.
With pleasure, we join in the salute for Colborne Township's
150th Anniversary. We're proud to be in Colborne. Have a great
time at the celebrations!
