For the past 365 days, readers have seen our countless stories, videos and photos. From coverage of family events such as the or the summertime , community issues like the or the township and state shutdown of a medical marijuana dispensary, Patch strives to keep you informed.

We were there as the was unveiled, took a as politicians pushed the waterway as a Pure Michigan site and watched the community rally around . We were there on somber days, covering the who was one of two men convicted of the tragic first-degree murder of Chesterfield Township resident Matthew Landry, the widespread and the death of stunt man Todd Green at the Selfridge Air Show.

And, with your support, we hope to be there for many more stories to come.

While we're grateful for the past year to report on New Baltimore and Chesterfield, we hope this is one of many milestones for our hyperlocal online hub that aspires to improve residents and business owners' lives by keeping you informed on news in town, ongoing events and activities and interactive content like our contests, polls and more.
