Bay City is set to enhance its community engagement and infrastructure following a recent city council meeting that highlighted significant public works achievements and upcoming cultural events.

During the meeting, it was reported that in July, the Street and Bridge department successfully completed 57 work orders, addressing 395 potholes and 10 utility cuts. Additionally, they rehabilitated Lechua Park Road and managed storm drainage issues caused by recent heavy rains. In utility maintenance, 34 water leaks were repaired, and 31 sewer backups were addressed, showcasing the city's commitment to maintaining essential services.

In a move to promote local culture, Bay City will be featured prominently in the Texas Downtown Banner Project. This initiative will showcase the city at various conferences and events throughout the year, starting with the annual conference in Waco, Texas.

Moreover, the city is gearing up for the "Summer Blues" art walk on August 23 at the Civic Center from 2 to 6 PM. This free community event will feature live music, a sip and paint session, and the work of over 25 artists, including a special area for children. The event aims to foster local artistic talent and encourage community participation.

These developments reflect Bay City's ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure while also enriching the cultural landscape, promising a vibrant future for its residents.
