| Greetings! |
|
February has been a snowy month here in Port Sanilac. We didn't get the feet of snow that the East Coast got, but we have had enough to build snowmen, go sledding, and get out the snowmobiles.
Winter is a beautiful time in Port Sanilac. The lake reflects the tempers of the season and the ice ebbs and flows. It is a perfect time for a walk along the beach, the scenery is ever-changing.
The scenery continues to change downtown, too. A new call center will be opening in the building formerly home to Rumble Trucking, bringing with it up to 70 jobs. The car wash has been sold and should re-open by summer. The bakery is moving forward and plans to begin serving the public in May. The Blue Water Sports Bar intends to be open by June or sooner.
All of these changes and more help to make Port Sanilac a better place to live, work, and vacation. So take some time to visit Port Sanilac this winter and share the excitement of all we have to offer! |
