Have you noticed that some roads are looking a bit cleaner lately? That may be due in part to the "Adopt A Highway" program, which allows businesses to "adopt" a portion of a highway to pay for cleaning services along the road. Mack-Cali recently adopted two new locations — a one-mile stretch of the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287) in Greenburgh, New York, and a one-mile stretch along I-280 in Roseland, New Jersey. These are in addition to our existing sponsorship on I-287 in Parsippany, New Jersey.
