Alterative Sprig breaks to be hel across Charlevoix a Emmet Couties
Boyne River Nature Area.The land is located alongthe river in the east end of the Industrial Park. Thearea is a wetland.This project will consistof constructing board-walks and steps aroundthe wetland and establish-ing a rain garden thathelps to prevent soil ero-sion. The path will be ap-proximately 900-feet long.The proposed pathway willnot be wide enough toallow for bicycle use. Theboardwalks would be float-ing boardwalks across thewetland area to the BoyneRiver edge.“Students can learnabout wetlands and the im-portance of preservingthem,” Cunningham said.“It’s another enhancementto what Boyne City is.”FOBR will apply forfoundation grants to helpwith costs of construction.Volunteers perform thework with businessessometimes assisting withthe equipment needed inconstruction. Cunning-ham estimated the cost of the project at $50,000.The Nature Area wouldtake advantage of an exist-ing ravine that slopesdown toward the river andconnects to a short, nar-row pathway that parallelsthe river at the base of thehillside, according to theFOBR website.

BOYNE CITY — The city justreceived notification that a grantfor more than $500,000 to recon-struct south Park Street will beawarded to the city. The grant re-quest was originally turned downby the state in the fall of 2011.This grant combined with 22other grants totals $4.5 millionthat the city has received since2005.“This is very exciting news,”city manager Michael Cain saidat a Feb. 28 city commission meet-ing. “It will be a complete recon-struction project. The city willrebuild Park Street from WaterStreet to Pine Street both over theground and under.”The city’s share of the total costof the $719,000 project is approxi-mately $215,000. Cain said busi-nesses and the downtown BoyneDistrict Library have wanted theimprovements for some time.The city hopes to have thefunds from the state in May and if the funds arrive in May the citywill begin construction in the fall.In another recent development,the state Department of NaturalResources offered two parcels of state land to the city for a total of $16,000. The land contains approx-imately 2,900-feet of frontage onthe north side of the Boyne River.“These parcels add to manythat we already own along theriver and build towards our abil-ity to create a river based recre-ation system in our community,”Cain said in a memorandum tothe board of commissioners.“This would be a public assetunder local control that couldbenefit countless generations tocome. These acquisitions allow usto control and protect both sidesof the river in certain locationsand expand our reach along theriver in others,” he said. The com-missioners agreed and approvedthe action.
