STERLING HEIGHTS — A Keep It Made in America bus is scheduled to make a tour stop at Sterling’s Dodge Park May 11 as part of a campaign to support domestic manufacturing jobs.
The rally, the bus’s only anticipated Macomb County appearance, will start at 2 p.m. at the park’s stage, located near the Recreation Center, at 40620 Utica Road, just east of Dodge Park Road. The public is welcome to attend.
