This is a major milestone for those who love and cherish the Keewenaw Peninsula of Michigan. Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Board member Sam Washington worked this week to assure the full grant request to protect this site was recommended.

COPPER HARBOR, MI - Trustees for the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund have placed on their final recommendation list of projects a $560,000 grant application to purchase Copper Harbor's Hunter's Point at their December 8th meeting in Lansing. The Trust Fund's decision caps a two-year effort by Grant Township, which includes the Upper Peninsula villages of Copper Harbor and Lac LaBelle, to purchase a picturesque section of Copper Harbor's Lake Superior shoreline in order to protect it from development. “Christmas has come early to Copper Harbor this year,” said Richard Powers, Grant Township Supervisor. “This is very exciting news, and on behalf of the residents of Copper Harbor I would like to thank the trustees for their support.”
