Algoma’s lakefront will have a new look soon.  The City of Algoma will have major work done by Crescent Beach starting after Labor Day.  The project will be re-routing stormwater that is currently running directly into Lake Michigan on the north side of Crescent Beach that is coming from Lake Street.  Public Works Director Matt Murphy shares details of the contracted work that will include two ponds.

Parking lots east of the Algoma Youth Club will need to be reconfigured and extended to the north to make room for the retention ponds.  Robert E. Lee & Associates will be the engineers overseeing the construction site while Peters Concrete doing the construction.  The $260,000 project was totally funded through an EPA grant and is expected to be completed by mid-November.
