The Mackinaw City clerk and treasurer's office at Village Hall will receive roughly $16,000 in renovations in the upcoming weeks, Village Manager Jeff Lawson told The St. Ignace News Friday, January 29. Work will include replacing the carpeting and office furniture. The maple wood flooring beneath the carpet, which is as old as the building itself, will be restored. Chairs, work stations, and desks, some purchased in the 1970s, will be replaced.

Renovation work is taking place now, he said, while the project load for the office is light. Equipment from the office will be stored in council chambers until the renovations are complete, which Mr. Lawson expects to be within two to three weeks. The village council meeting Thursday, February 4, was held at the Mackinaw City Recreation Center's downstairs conference room while the renovations continued.
