Construction is underway again at Port Huron’s Military Street Pocket Park with a new, sturdier gazebo designed for better accessibility. The city began installing new footers after halting the original canopy plan due to soil issues causing shifting poles. This is part of a $500,000 Downtown Development Authority project to improve downtown public spaces and support small events. The park now features new ADA-compliant concrete surfaces, following a tree removal that caused some complaints. City officials stress quality and inclusivity, with work expected to finish within 30 days.

Michalski Excavating brought in sand to stop the milk from spreading further, helping protect local waterways. Tuscola County officials called in the state environmental agency to handle the cleanup, while sheriff’s deputies and Michigan State Police are investigating the accident.
