Bay County officials were hoping to have a new boardwalk at the Bay City State Recreation Area to the shoreline of Saginaw Bay by the start of this summer, but a beach grooming violation has put those plans on hold. George Lauinger, unit manager of the Bay City state park, said there was a beach grooming violation by a volunteer that occurred on Thursday, May 26. Lauinger said the state park self-reported the violation to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
