With its islands, Clay Township Supervisor Artie Bryson said the community has more than 100 miles of shoreline.
But someday soon, roughly 300 feet of shoreline will belong to a public swimming beach another stamp on what the local official described as vital to the township’s recreation identity.
The state has approved more than $1.4 million in Michigan Department of Natural Resource funds for the project. The money will be used to purchase several acres neighboring the MDNR boat launch off Pointe Tremble Road on the North Channel of the St. Clair River for development of a St. Clair County park.

As the summer tourist season winds up, Clay Township officials are mulling over rules for short-term or vacation rentals.
The township board of trustees tabled discussion of adopting an ordinance on Monday after some rental property owners expressed concern that the draft went too far with rules including the number of occupants allowed per bedroom, the number of smoke alarms and the kind of driveway required.
On Wednesday, Clay Township Supervisor Artie Bryson said he wasn’t sure at which meeting the discussion will come back to the board but added it will likely be in June. Board officials earlier in the week agreed first to try and confer with rental owners about finding a happy medium.

While sitting in the dining room of her Delta Drive home on a conference call in early February, Anne Trombley heard a crunching sound when she put her feet on the floor beneath her. I thought I stepped on some crumbs of chips.I looked down and sure enough, (water) was just rolling through the back.
The water was coming in through the back door, which faces a canal off the St. Clair River. It continued to rise throughout the day, breaking 11 inches by mid-afternoon.
Since her home first flooded in 2019, her family keeps the furniture on the first floor of their home on cinder blocks. The carpeting and flooring has been destroyed and removed. So have some sections of walls. Appliances that have just been replaced have already been destroyed.
