Company opens
A2 research space
‘Keep Moving
Forward’ looks for
engineering talent
from ‘U’ students
On June 11, Silicon Valley-
based company Keep Looking
Ahead
opened
a
temporary
Research and Development site
in Ann Arbor. The global capital
equipment company specializes
in artificial intelligence, sensor
technology and protons and
electrons, and hopes to take
advantage of the engineering
talent the University of Michigan
provides, according to Click on
Detroit.com.
KLA started in 1976 when the
company had a breakthrough
with a mask inspection tool.
They currently partner with
customers around the world to
develop state of the art inspection
and metrology technology.
With more than 10,000 global
employees,
KLA
announced
their plans for opening an Ann
Arbor location Oct. 24, 2018.
In a news release on their
website, CEO Rick Wallace, a
graduate of the University with a
bachelor’s degree in engineering,
said he hopes to strengthen ties
with the University.
John McLaughlin, Ann Arbor
site leader for KLA and 2005
University graduate, said the
company purposely picked the
location in Ann Arbor near North
Campus after considering more
than 350 possible sites because of
its high quality-of-life, low cost-
of-living compared to the Bay
Area and its engineering talent.
“Big
picture:
we
are
creating
600
jobs
in
Ann
Arbor,”
McLaughlin
said.
“We are establishing a second
headquarters and a major R&D
facility here.
Ann Arbor
residents celebrate
begininngs of
outdoor sale
This summer, the Ann Arbor
Farmers Market is celebrating
its 100th birthday. Over the past
century, the farmers market has
become an Ann Arbor staple with
142 stalls open on Wednesdays
and Saturdays throughout the
summer. The outdoor shop also
includes Kindlefest, a holiday
market open only in December.
The Farmers Market is an
outdoor shopping center across
the street from Zingerman’s
Delicatessen full of fresh, brightly
colored flowers that sit alongside
bundles of produce. Vendors
sell merchandise ranging from
jewelry, breads and jams, to local
coffee beans and even snow cones
as the summer months begin to
heat up.
The Kerrytown market has
been serving the community
fresh produce and locally-made
food since its 1919. As noted in
an Ann Arbor Observer article in
1978, the history of the Farmer’s
Market included three big moves.
Initially,
the
shops
were
located on Main Street but were
then quickly moved near the
courthouse on Fourth Avenue
after residents complained Main
was becoming too clogged up
with vendors and patrons. The
market continued to grow, and
so did the need to expand. In
1931, the local market moved to
its current location with over
124 stalls surrounding a paved
walkway, which was built as a
Great Depression Era Works
Progress Administration project.
The celebration of the farmers
market’s 100th birthday began in
the beginning of May with posts
on the market’s Facebook page in
tandem with an exhibit opening
at the Ann Arbor District Library
in July.
Stephanie Willet, Ann Arbor
Farmers
Market
manager,
said she has been planning
events throughout the summer,
including a food truck rally and
outdoor movie screening in July.
“We are going to be trying to
highlight our history as well,”
Willet said. “We’ll have a bunch
of old photos, we’ll be printing
those on banners and hanging
them up around the market.”
The
farmer’s
market
will
officially
commemorate
their
100th year anniversary with
a “birthday party” on Aug. 17.
The party will feature the Ann
Arbor
Symphony
Orchestra,
along with an array of children’s
events, such as an “instrument
petting zoo” where children are
able to play with the symphony’s
instruments. There will also be
a magician and free ice cream
to commemorate the expansive
history of the farmers market.
