Peck Farm Wins $99K State Grant
S.J. Organic Farms in Peck landed a big boost from the state. The Sanilac County business received nearly $99,000 through Michigan’s Last Food Mile grant program. The money will let them buy a refrigerated delivery vehicle so they can bring fresh organic produce, eggs, meat, and baked goods straight to local families. Customers in Marlette, Lexington, Port Huron, Davison, and Peck will have easier access to this nutritious food. This is one of only 21 projects funded statewide after more than 130 applications.

New McKenzie Hospital Clearly Visible
Drivers on M-46 can now clearly see McKenzie Health System’s new hospital rising from the ground. Construction continues to move forward after the last update in March. Crews are pushing ahead with underground electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work in areas C and D, while utilities advance into area B. Steel framing panels are going up along the north side, with work now starting on the east elevation too. Roof installation begins soon, along with backfilling and temporary power service. The new facility is expected to open next spring.
