On Oct. 2, the Third Base Bar was given a plaque recognizing the completion of their facade improvements to their building at 726 N. Third St. in Downtown Marquette. The façade improvements were complete in part with funding from a Downtown Façade Improvement Grant from the Marquette Downtown Development Authority which was made available from grant funding through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Façade Restoration Initiative pilot program.
