What are the biggest challenges the City is facing in the next five years, and do you have ideas on how you’d like to see those challenges addressed?

Over the next five years, the challenges facing the city may be many of the same we are experiencing today: short-term rentals, lack of affordable housing, the availability of a stable workforce, and an aging population. These challenges are all interconnected. What happens with housing affects our ability to attract and retain a workforce, while our aging population creates additional needs for housing and services. These challenges, if left unaddressed, will impact the future of Harbor Springs. We need to be proactive in addressing them.
