Good news for Marquette

MARQUETTE, MI--   Marquette has been getting some good publicity lately. 

The city was recently named a finalist in the second Amazon Web Services City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge.  AWS recognizes local and regional governments and developers that benefit citizens using the cloud.  Marquette submitted a plan for a mobile website called CemeteryHost, which would allow people to search for and find grave sites in Park Cemetery.  Once the grave is found, users can save details on Marquette County’s Localwiki page and improve the database.

And Elizabeth’s Chop House on Front Street has been named one of Michigan’s best steak houses.  MLive.com has ranked it third-best in the state, while the website Onlyinyourstate.com recently ranked Elizabeth’s the seventh-best in Michigan.
