Community and business leaders from throughout Bay City gathered Friday for a ribbon cutting and dedication of the newly renovated Realtor Park.

City Manager Dana Muscott says upgrading the site along South Henry on the west side just off Veterans Memorial Bridge could encourage other improvements in the nearby Jenny-Thomas corridor.

Muscott added the location includes park benches, trees, a walkway
and an imposing sculpture showing the Saginaw River flowing
through Bay City as it would look on a map.

A fundraising campaign brought in well over $100,000 for the
project.
