Bay City Pilot Program to Invest in City Road Infrastructure
What happened
A pilot program has been proposed in Bay City for the city to handle its own street paving without relying on outside contractors. The plan involves investing in 50 blocks across all nine wards of the city. The project would require approximately $318,000 for three personnel, along with funds for equipment and over $400,000 in materials. The city hopes to begin work on this pilot program next year.

The initiative utilizes funds from the general fund and contributions from United Bridge Partners. The pilot program aims to achieve annual investments nearing $1 million for the 50 blocks. If successful, the city hopes to expand the annual investment to 100 blocks.
