Directions

The August 20-22 UtilityAMI meetings will be held at Consumers Energy’s Jackson Service Center facility in Jackson, MI. The street address is: 1955 West Parnall Road, although you will likely need a little clarification in finding the building even with a dashboard navigation nanny.

a.       Travel 59.3 miles to Exit 138.

2.      Take Exit 138 and BEAR RIGHT onto M-50 W/US-127 N toward Lansing.

a.       Travel 0.5 miles to the Consumers Energy facilities on the right.

b.      Go past the first parking lot entrance and building on the right to the main road into the facilities. You will be turning before you get to the tall building.

Note that Google Maps shows the destination as being just beyond where you need to turn into the complex.

 

Logistics

The building where we are meeting has locked doors that require a badge for access. Angela Ropp of Consumers Energy has kindly volunteered to hand out security badges and record names on Wednesday morning from 8:30-9:00am EDT. After 9:00am Wednesday, you will need to contact Debbie Fairbanks at (517) 788-1068 for a badge and sign-in, including those arriving on Thursday or Friday for the first time. There will be a sign on the door of the building with this information as well.
