No official site plans have been submitted to build in the plaza, but the process could start by fall, Giese said.

The annual food-lovers' event is scheduled for June 19 in downtown New Baltimore.
Delicious dishes--and food vendors who serve them--are sought for this summer's Anchor Bay Tastefest in downtown New Baltimore. Eight restaurants are needed to bring the total vendor amount to 15.

It will be held from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 19 at the same location this year. Restaurants do not need to be chamber members to be vendors. However, they must …
