Things to do in Saginaw
Saginaw is the largest city in Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region, alongside Midland and Bay City, a manufacturing area that grew on lumber, sugar beets and automobiles. Dow, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, is headquartered in nearby Midland, and its operations and suppliers drive much of the region’s business travel. Saginaw itself is a center for automotive steering systems and other parts manufacturing, healthcare and agriculture, and Saginaw Valley State University sits between the three cities.
