In Grand Haven, we have our eye on the future. Harbor Island is home to the former J.B. Sims site, wetlands, boat launch, soccer fields, Linear Park and much more. Help envision the future of the study area highlighted in the map below by sharing your thoughts, priorities and ideas in this survey.
Feedback from this survey, visioning sessions and public meetings will inform potential reuse concepts for the outlined study area. Reuse concepts will be presented to the public on May 22, 2024 and presented to the Grand Haven City Council on June 3, 2024.
It is important to note that this visioning process is taking place prior to data gathering needed for remediation alternatives. Many factors may limit site use, including long-term remediation needs, cost and state and federal regulatory requirements. However, we feel strongly that early and often communication around the future of Harbor Island will result in a plan that speaks to the needs and values of those that make up the community of Grand Haven and help us plan and move forward.
Please remember that this survey will not result in reuse concepts, but will help inform concept creation. Help us shape the future of Harbor Island by answering the following questions.
