Vote Yes to repeal the Zoning

Our goal is to improve the zoning, but to make those changes we first need to repeal it.  Then, listening to voters, make changes so we grow Harbor Springs in the way Harbor Springs has grown for more than a century – keeping Harbor Spring’s character intact. Keeping Harbor Harbor.

Update from Questions received at the Farmers Market Sept. 7, 2024  The ballot question below is taken directly from the Referendum of Legislation proposed by the Initiative Petition which over 370 voters signed in the 30-day petition drive. There appears to be no ommissions, changes or exclusions. If you have further concerns or questions, please contact us. Please review the entirety of the petition in our FAQ Tab.
