After decades of absence, the Soap Box Derby is back in the Flint area with the support from multiple area businesses including Goyette Mechanical.
The first race event in over 25 years took place this past weekend and the inaugural race was won by Goyette General Manager Leif Johnson! Congratulations for making history Leif!
ELGA Credit Union and ABC 12 TV have been holding a Diaper Drive for several years. Donations and money raised all support local new families by providing diapers for their children. Goyette Mechanical has been supporting this effort since 2016. This year, Goyette Technician Greg Monzo delivered a donation to TV Anchor Angie Hendershot, and ELGA Credit Union Marketing Director Cheryl Sclater. Curt LaLonde also appeared on the Televised fundraiser promoting Goyette’s involvement and commitment to the community. Well Done Team!
Goyette Mechanical recently sponsored the construction of Soap Box Derby cars to compete in upcoming events. There were 33 kids and 31 volunteers/parents in attendance from Beecher Schools, Freeman Elementary, Springview Elementary, St. Pius X, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Flint. At least three of the cars are near completion – which we did not anticipate would be the case after the first workshop.
Everyone seemed to really enjoy the entire experience and it was great seeing the level of collaboration and immersion throughout the entire day. Overall, the first workshop really laid the foundation for a meaningful community program going forward.
Goyette Mechanical selected as the HVAC Design Build Contractor for restoration of Ransom Gillis House. The structure, unoccupied since the mid-1960s, was “mothballed” by the City of Detroit in 2005/2006, in hopes of restoration in the future.
Gray Construction of Lexington, Ky. recently selected Goyette Mechanical as the design-assist plumbing contractor for Clemens Food Group’s new fresh pork processing plant in Coldwater, Mich. The new facility will span more than 550,000 s.f. of floor space and will house state-of-the-art processing equipment. The plant will be supported by local farmers in the tristate area of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, and is expected to create approximately 800 new jobs.
