Putting the “H” in home.
Lakeside living is well known throughout the region’s small towns.
The communities of Northern Michigan are truly a unique blending of past, present and future. Nostalgia greets you on every street corner from the gaslights in Petoskey’s shopping districts to the turn of the 20th Century architecture of the buildings.
There are award-winning art galleries, exhibitions, festivals and concerts that bring world-renowned artists to the area. The natural beauty of the landscapes lends itself to inspiration.
Education is the foundation for success and it’s a role the educators in Northern Michigan take seriously, creating award-winning K-12 schools and a growing North Central Michigan College, which provides two- and four-year degree programs plus a variety of community enrichment classes.
Community leaders are looking towards the future by rebuilding infrastructure, creating top-notch industrial parks and offering broadband access. But it’s not all work here in paradise. When you leave the office, you’re immediately in your favorite playland, ready for every festival, art fair and fine-weather day—whether there are fireworks in a starry sky or quiet walks on the beach.
