[Thirteen Mile]

Right on good to see more investment reaching Battle Creek. The city is in an interesting position the city didn’t suffer from deindustrialization due to Kellogg’s continued commitment to the city however as a one industry town the area stagnated during the 2000s and missed out for the most part on the urban recovery of the past decade.

It’s in a naturally beautiful area with rolling hills and lakes but the tourist draw is more low key than Kzoo & GR can tap into as hub cities for the east shore of lake mi nor does it have a major university presence. Battle Creek also has a oversized downtown for its current and historic population to act as a draw hopefully things keep breaking BC’s way.
