Bay City may anchor its vacant Uptown at RiversEdge site with a Maritime Heritage Center that builds on the success of recent tall ships festivals held here.
Supporters of the idea include officials from Bay City, Dow Corning Corp., the Bay Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and Bay Future, a local public-private economic development group.
The proponents presented their concept, patterned after an attraction at Mystic Seaport, Conn., to city commissioners at a Finance and Policy Committee meeting on Monday.
