The Power Inn Alliance appreciates the ongoing efforts of A&A Concrete Supply and their commit-ment to assist in the battle of street and bike lane debris. Thousands of vehicles, both large andsmall, travel each week throughout the area. Many of these vehicles are loaded to capacity withvarious materials which escape from their containers. Luckily for all the commuters and business-es operating in the area, A&A Concrete is voluntarily supplementing Sacramento City StreetSweeping Services.

Ron Coburn, Site Manager at the A&A Concrete Supply facility on Berry Avenue, takes area pride toanother level. According to Coburn “giving back to the commu-nity is as much a responsibility as a need to keep neighborssafe and the area looking good.” Coburn is a staunch supporterof The Alliance mission and a member of both the Planning andBusiness Development and Crime and Code committees.

A&A Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. was created in 1949 in Gardena,CA. The company grew steadily and opened the Sacramento location in 2008, as one of 21 locationsthroughout Northern and Southern California. And today, A&A Concrete has become the largest-family-owned supplier of ready mixed concrete in the state.

Plans are underway for the “2014 Picnic at the Park” on Saturday,October 4th at Depot Park and area businesses are already sched-uling their Company Picnic for the venue! Even though the door hasjust recently closed on the 2013 Picnic the Picnic at the Park Com-mittee members are busy working with local vendors, media andentertainers to shape this year’s Picnic into an event not to miss.
