Port Huron city leaders are seeking $6.5 million from state government to fix the Black River Canal, a key waterway damaged by flooding inn’24. The canal, built in 1912, connects Lake Huron to the Black River and supports local boating, tourism, and safety. Since its closure, emergency response times on the lake have slowed, and nearby businesses have felt the impact. The requested funds will rebuild flood control structures and shorelines, aiming to reopen the canal. A funding decision is expected by October.
