Fort Gratiot Township leaders have decided to hold off on a $1 million contribution toward fixing the Black River Canal after strong pushback from residents. The canal, linking Lake Huron and the Black River, has been closed since early ’24 due to ice damage. Port Huron is leading the $5.6 million project, but Fort Gratiot officials say they’ll wait for construction bids later this month before committing any funds. Many residents argue township tax dollars shouldn’t go toward a waterway they rarely use.
