Construction Work In Michigan To Resume May 7

MICHIGAN (CBS DETROIT) - Construction work in Michigan is set to resume on May 7 according to a spokeswoman for Governor Gretchen Whitmer's office.

Whitmer recently stated as she gradually lifts her stay-at-home order, residential and commercial construction would be the first sectors of the economy to reopen.

The governor's current stay-at-home order is in effect until May 15. She is set to have a press conference Wednesday afternoon to provide an update on the state's response efforts to COVID-19.

Under the stay-at-home order, some road construction projects have continued but private project and public projects on building have come to a halt, according to the Detroit Free Press.
