JOIN US AT OUR NEXT HEARTLANDS UPDATE MARCH 12!

We are thrilled to invite you to our next Keweenaw Heartlands Project update, Tuesday, March 12, at the Allouez Township Community Center from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. The Nature Conservancy in Michigan (TNC) and the Michigan Department of Nature Resources (MDNR) are holding the event to brief the community on the latest with the project and answer questions.

The Allouez Township Community Center is located at 388 Bumbletown Road in Allouez.

During the meeting, TNC and MDNR will share updates on progress towards transition of the Keweenaw Heartlands into both DNR and local, public entity governance and management.

We hope to see you there!

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey or attended the public meeting about the Keweenaw County Emergency Operations Center last month.

We received 187 survey responses, with the majority (73%) filled out by long- or short-term residents of Keweenaw County. Many of the surveys contained thoughtful and detailed feedback, which we greatly appreciate.

Nearly 30 people attending a Feb. 21 public meeting to share their thoughts as well and show their support. Attendees included Keweenaw County residents, members of local volunteer fire departments, first responders, search and rescue, law enforcement, the road commission, county board, and township supervisors.

Gathering feedback from the community was the first step in what will be a year-and-a-half process to shape plans for a county Emergency Operations Center.

Again, thank you all for your generous thoughts and feedback on this project.
