New Baltimore to Celebrate New Harbor, Patrol Boat
Public boat docks and a patrol boat will be celebrated during June dedications.
New Baltimore will celebrate its new public boat docks and security patrol boat during two June ceremonies at Walter and Mary Burke Park.
The events, at 11 a.m. June 17 and 4 p.m. June 18, mark a multi-agency effort formed by New Baltimore with the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, Detroit-Wayne Port Authority and Department of Homeland Security/FEMA, according to New Baltimore Police Chief Tim Wiley.
The harbor, which was constructed during winter, will include 10 finger docks allowing 16 boats. The docks will be along Anchor Bay in the so-called old beach area of the park near the water plant.

The patrol boat aims to boost security on local waterways with help from city police reserves and by partnering with Macomb County Sheriff's Marine Divison.
U.S. Rep. Candice Miller and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel have continued to help advocate the program's initiatives that were long championed by city and community leaders, Wiley said.
