Our Mission
To connect and create opportunity for all on Michigan’s Forgotten Coast.
Michigan’s Forgotten Coast (commonly called “The Thumb”) is surrounded by over 150 miles of Lake Huron coastline and is made up of several connected cities and villages with small town, blue collar vibes & values.
We’re a peninsula on a peninsula…a place you travel to, not through. Our small cities and villages have great (and underused) infrastructure and are located just a short distance from larger population centers.
