The Poseyville Preserve Project has reached an exciting milestone with the full installation of the pedestrian walkway, officially named Founders Crossing.

With this progress, E. Main Street between the Poseyville Bridge and State Street is now open to vehicle traffic and parking. Please note that the south sidewalk along the Tittabawassee River will remain closed until the project is completed later this fall. Public access to Founders Crossing will also remain restricted until the project is fully complete.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of the Poseyville Preserve Project is scheduled for December 2, 2025.

So, what is the Poseyville Preserve Project?
This initiative restores a former industrial site into a natural riparian ecosystem native to the region. Project features include:

Founders Crossing pedestrian walkway spanning the Tittabawassee River
Accessible fishing opportunities
Connections to walking and biking paths
Expanded public access to the riverfront
