Harbor liaison describes overlook ideas; council discusses grant-seeking and habitat features
Summary
Harbor Commission Liaison Tim Claseman told the council 500 Harrisville Harbor brochures were distributed at an event in Novi and council discussed grant-seeking and potential improvements to the harbor overlook, including removing stairs, adding picnic tables and establishing pollinator and monarch habitat.
Harbor Commission Liaison Tim Claseman updated the Harrisville City Council on harbor promotion and potential improvements to the harbor overlook on Jan. 12.
Claseman said 500 brochures representing Harrisville Harbor were distributed at a recent event in Novi, Michigan. The harbor commission forwarded a letter of opinion about the harbor overlook; councilors discussed next steps including seeking grant funding and allocating city funds. Ideas raised included removing the existing stairs, installing picnic tables and creating pollinator plantings designed to support monarch butterflies.
Alderman Nancy McKenzie asked what the city would do to move the project forward; councilors discussed grant applications and what features they would like to see at the overlook. No funding decision or formal motion was recorded; the minutes show the item will return for further deliberation at a future meeting.
