St. Clair Shores is eyeing a $6.6 million bond issue to pay for recreational enhancements to Blossom Heath Park that would include an extended pier out into Lake St. Clair.
The St. Clair Shores City Council on Monday approved a notice of intent to issue the bonds, the first in a series of steps to formally approve the project.
The fishing pier, seawall improvements, and related wayfaring features have been approved for the lakeside park on Jefferson Avenue near 10 Mile by the Tax Increment Finance Authority and are now being reviewed by city staff, officials said.
