Blue Max Materials will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on October 4 at 9:00 a.m. for its new Outdoor Living Design Center, at 1625 East Westinghouse Boulevard, followed by its grand opening the next day. The Outdoor Living Design Center is a lush two-acre site offering visitors the opportunity to experience the outdoor living lifestyle. It features full-sized outdoor living spaces, created by some of the Charlotte area's top landscape designers and contractors. It will act as a resource for homeowners and designers to gather information and ideas and to see how a plan comes together. The Design Center is essentially a permanent show space that will be open to the public year round.
