COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The flipping of the former Taylor’s Stationers building into the new site of the Children’s Museum of Branch County in downtown Coldwater was among the four finalists for the Community Excellence Award during last week’s Michigan Municipal League Convention in Traverse City.
The award is said to be the most prestigious M.M.L. community honor.
Although Coldwater did not win the top prize, Main Street Director Audrey Tappenden said they were able to promote the city to over 400 attendees at the convention.
The City of Bridgman won the award for “The Bridgman Courtyard” which transformed an underutilized parking lot into a vibrant community gathering space in the downtown area.
The voting for the award was by convention attendees. The other finalists were community projects that were submitted by Port Huron and Westland.
The Coldwater project was entitled, “Explore. Learn. Grow: How a Children’s Museum Revitalized Downtown”.
