Michigan Sea Grant | Sustainable Small Harbors Charrette
In October of 2019, citizens of Arcadia Township participated with representatives of the Michigan Sea Grant in a Sustainable Small Harbors Charrette to facilitate the development of long-term, sustainable strategies to enable our coastal community to maximize the benefits of our harbors and waterfront.
