The Village of Ontonagon is ready to take the next step in its revitalization.
The area was one of the four communities in Michigan to be selected for the sustainable small harbor management strategy project.
The public got its first look at the final design concept this week.
MSU Extension Educator, Brad Neumann says the concept is based on input from local residents.
Some of the key themes from the final design concept include improving access to the water and beach area on Rose Island and better connections in town–important factors to Village Manager Joseph Erickson.
Village President Ken Waldrop is optimistic that this project will bring people into Ontonagon to enjoy all that they have.
Hundreds have attended the various meetings and shared their visions and dreams for the village surrounding the water front.
Local resident Dan Sullivan says people are very excited for the project to start taking place.
