Blue Water Bridge, August 2025. Genevieve Fox.

Hello Blue Water readers! 

We explored many interesting things this year, from new housing developments and road diets to a new makerspace, all right here in the thumb region. It’s been an impactful year, and we couldn’t have done it without all of you reading, sharing, and supporting the work we do.

As 2025 comes to a close, let’s take a look at some stories that especially stuck out to me, and our audience this year. If you wish to support our local, solutions-focused news as we enter 2026, please click here. Or if you have an idea you’d like to see us cover, send an email over to editor@thekeelph.com.

Happy New Year!
