Sweet
One of my favorite places to be!❤️
The community of neighbors that feel the new zoning approved in May does not or may not fully address the needs of protecting Harbor Springs unique assets can bring their insights to the table - with the zoning now on the November ballot, we can vote.
ZONING REFORM “ Best Practices for Your Area - The conclusion of this report: www.nahro.org/journal_article/rethinking-zoning-to-increase-affordable-housing/
It is imperative to acknowledge the profound diversity that characterizes each municipalities unique circumstances, encompassing not only the intricacies of their political landscapes but also the array of resources at their disposal.
As such, the trajectory of zoning reform will vary significantly, shaped by the interplay of resources, capacities, and local factors.
This variation serves as a reminder that the pursuit of zoning reform is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, but rather a nuanced and context-dependent process that must be tailored to address the distinctive requirements of individual communities.
Coalition building and local engagement is pivotal in shaping an approach to zoning reform that is both inclusive and impactful.
Collaborating with community members in one’s vicinity is key to crafting strategies that truly address local needs.
Moreover, drawing insights from the successes and shortcomings experienced in other regions can provide valuable insights, enhancing the effectiveness of reform efforts.”

Here is the LINK for the on-line 2024 Michigan Absent Ballot Application.
For those who are heading out of town and may miss the absentee ballot in their mail box or for those who choose to vote absentee simply out of convenience - a ballot can be received if you go on-line and fill it out.
If you are a voter in Harbor Springs you can pick up one up at City Hall IF YOU LIVE IN HARBOR SPRINGS . Other wise pick up your ballot at your Townships Hall.
Take your identification.

It’s convenient and the time you take now will make a difference in November. You must sign the form to get a ballot.
If you are military; or traveling overseas a ballot can be sent by email, or your ballot can still reach a post box where you are.
Return this application to your city/township clerk. You can find your local clerk’s address, email address, phone number and drop box locations by going to Michigan.gov/Vote.
Sign-up now with the college kids - the traveling kids and before the fall - all the traveling retiree friends.

Great information. Thanks for posting.
OK just to clarify, this is Patty at City Hall and only Military and Overseas Civilians, and those traveling out of the country can get an emailed ballot. College students or anyone traveling in the United States still have to early vote or get an normal absentee ballot.
Please remember you can only pick one up at City Hall IF you are registered in The City of Harbor Springs proper, anyone living in a township MUST get them from their own township. I have already gotten calls that I can't provide for. Please contact your Township Clerk where you are registered to vote. Thank you
