Bay County officials are taking action against blighted properties following a recent Code Magistrate Hearing held on June 12, 2025. During the meeting, it was revealed that a complaint had been filed regarding a deteriorating structure located at the North End of Michigan Avenue, behind Camping World and North Star Church.
