Downtown Three Rivers establishment Useless Creatures Brewing Co. (41 N. Main St.) is seeking approval from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide outdoor seating on the sidewalk in front of their location. Three Rivers commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to contribute a letter of support for the brewery’s MDOT application.

“This past weekend marked a particularly significant moment for the East Alley Project, and that is the installation of the archway and sign. It now displays its name, and as much as we have used the name previously, it’s now for all to see. No single step of this project has done more in the way of placemaking than installing the sign. It really feels different now that it is in place.”
An outdoor “Main Street Commons Social District” may be coming to downtown Three Rivers soon. At a regular meeting of the Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Program (TRDDA) Friday, board members voted to approve recommending the district to the Three Rivers City Commission for approval. The district is a new opportunity under the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) to permit patrons at certain drinking establishments to consume alcoholic beverages outside.
