The Keweenaw Waters Resort has finally received approval to begin construction on their campground. And while the letter from EGLE and MDHHS is much awaited, it has delayed the main portion of construction to next summer. But, Bradway Enterprises, the company that owns the property, said approval from the Michigan departments of Great Lakes and Energy and Health and Human Services is good news.
Keweenaw Waters Resort will rest across from Coles Creek, within Houghton’s city limits, allowing easy access to water, sewer, and utilities. The future campground develops land formerly a part of the EPA’s Superfund registry, and was de-listed along with two other sites in the area. Both of the other sites have seen residential developments since then.
Bradway expressed gratitude for the area’s local leadership and representatives in Lansing for helping the resort gain approval. Keweenaw Waters Resort will begin work on their cabins this summer, with construction on campsites occurring next year. The resort hopes to create a positive impact on the local economy and recreation opportunities for tourists and residents.
