Bessemer Begins Planning for New Trailhead

The Bessemer Recreation Committee took a tour of the site of the city’s new Iron Belle trailhead, last week, which is to be located behind city hall. City manager Charly Loper and council member Terry Kryshak marked outlines on the grass where the planned pavilion and bike park should be. The city is still working on raising funds to provide a match for one of two possible grants with the Economic Development Committee or the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. To date the city has raised $55,000 of the approximately $92,000 needed for a grant match.
