Mayor Andy Swift addresses residents and community leaders at Arnaldo’s
“Excellence in Business,” Riverview took a more simplified and unique approach. They chose to feature businesses that contribute to a better life for residents, students, seniors, and civic organizations in Riverview and the Downriver region. Whether that be
supporting schools in fundraising efforts or actively participating in community events, each business has made a lasting commitment to the city. The awards opened with Bogard Law. Dave Bogard’s dedication to serving the community was highlighted as Mayor Swift recounted his journey. A retired Naval Officer turned lawyer, Bogard’s commitment to justice and integrity has been unwavering throughout his career. Relocating his team to Riverview symbolized a new chapter of growth and service, a move welcomed by the community. The spotlight then shifted to a Riverview institution steeped in history: Baffo’s.
