A vibrant, picturesque community of 15,000 people, Sault Ste.
Marie is situated on the southern shore of the historic
St. Mary's River at the eastern end of Michigan’s
spectacular Upper Peninsula.
Known as the Northern Gateway to Canada the Sault is
home to the world famous Soo Locks, connecting Lake
Superior with Lake Huron.
Against this historical backdrop, Sault Ste. Marie is a
modern community, home to the highly respected Lake
Superior State
University on a lovely historic campus, a dynamic and
fast-
growing regional medical center in the heart of the city
s attractive downtown, and modern and growing shopping
facilities.
Located on the northern end of Interstate I-75, Sault
Ste. Marie is strategically located at the nexus of
rail, highway, air and water transportation systems.
As a long-time tourist mecca, the community is
full of generous people who are very welcoming of
newcomers. This extends to the growing economic base of the city
and county, where several modern industrial parks, three
airports, low energy costs driven by hydroelectric power
complement the friendly business environment,
industrious work ethic of our people and a minimal bureaucracy with strong
community collaboration to help to make Sault Ste. Marie
the place to grow.
With the region's abundant natural beauty, nearby Great
Lakes, extensive National and State forests, limitless
fishing opportunities, Sault Ste. Marie is indeed a
great place to live. And with our safe
neighborhoods, lack of traffic congestion, affordable
housing, extensive cultural activities, low cost of
living, and modern and outstanding public and private
educational facilities, this is a great place to raise a
family. |

Welcome to the City of Sault Ste. Marie's
Website. This site is intended to give you up-to-date
information on the City Government, from myself and the
Commission to City Administration, to citizen boards and
commissions. You'll find minutes and agendas from the City
Commission, as well as economic development information if
you're looking to relocate a business to the Sault.
The City of Sault Ste. Marie is a beautiful city
with a great and storied history. We are Michigan’s oldest
European settlement, founded in 1668. We are located on the
St. Mary's River which is home to the Soo Locks, the busiest
in the world. The city is proud of her historic treasures,
such as the Museum Ship Valley Camp, Fort Brady, and several
historic churches.
This past ten years have seen a real growth in our community
with: the initiation of our Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
and street re-building program with overall cost $35
million, the U.S. Coast Guard residential subdivision, the
completion of the Downtown Streetscape Project, the
construction of Avery Square (a retail office and senior
housing complex), the Sault Tribe Kewadin Casino and Health
Facilities, the construction of our Air Industrial Park and
a new passenger terminal, and the emergence of several
successful industrial manufacturers.
Our quality of life is strengthened by such activities,
places, and projects as: the Soo Locks Festival,
Professional In-Fisherman Walleye Tournament, I-500
Snowmobile Race, and the City's Public Golf Course and
Sherman Park on the St. Mary's River, several ice arenas,
Project Pride -- Van Citter's Field, Project Playground and
Project Park - Sault Seal Recreation Area snow tubing and
skiing.
All these examples showcase the city's pride as a great
place to live, work, and play. In addition, the Soo is home
to Lake Superior State University's Division I Ice Hockey
Program and the Soo Eagles Jr. A hockey team. On behalf of
the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie, I hope you find our
website to be useful and informative. I also invite you to
visit and see for yourself why our city is such a great
place. Please don't hesitate to contact me at City Hall.
Anthony G. Bosbous, Mayor
