Restoration and renovation work begins at Bay City Hall, more than a year after fire closes down building

Plastic sheeting hangs in the entryways of offices and in hallways at Bay City Hall. Paper covers the marble flooring on the building’s ground level, and missing ceiling exposes duct work and wiring it concealed. A year after the historic structure at 301 Washington Ave. was damaged, first by fire and then by water, work only now is turning from cleanup to the task of restoration and renovation. City Clerk Dana Muscott doesn’t expect offices to reopen in the building until sometime next year. But the building is buzzing with the activity of contractors working inside. On Thursday, crews from Goyette Mechanical of Flint were preparing to remove the building’s old boilers and cooling system to prepare City Hall for a new, energy efficient system.
