LEELANAU HISTORY

LEELANAU HISTORY

Venerable Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has withstood high water before. And it is again, although much of the national parks beach is underwater and erosion is dropping tons of sand into the Big Lake. The concern is more with humans than the resource. More endangered piping plovers are nesting than a year ago, and the dune itself is in no danger of running out of sand. But water levels that have risen to within a few inches the record set 33 years ago is building a cliff along the Lakeshore that makes access difficult. And the receding beach is starting to threaten homes. *** Although commissioners initially balked at the multi-million cost, the county board agreed last week to move ahead with two major projects to improve county facilities. During a special meeting last Thursday, May 30, the board approved a $1.2 million contract with Lutz Roofing Company of downstate Macomb County to re-roof the county Law Enforcement Center (LEC). 06/05/2024 08:28 PM
