What is We Love Harbor Springs?
We Love Harbor Springs. org was established to ensure the voice of our entire community is heard. Our group is made up of over 1,000 people from all walks of life, including voters, full-time and part-time residents, multi-generational families, and occasional visitors. WLHS is driven by more than 30 volunteers focused on the issue.
We are a 501(c)4 organization committed to facilitating dialogue and transparency between the community and city leaders. We do not control how people vote. We do not control what they do if they join boards or commissions.
As the city faces important decisions, we strive to engage the whole community, ensuring every voice is considered. We do this through research, communication, legal support, and providing clear, accessible information about local issues. WLHS goal is to empower voters, property owners, the tribe, and area townships with transparency over development in the region.
Our goal is to help preserve the unique character of Harbor Springs while guiding citizens through the decision-making process, whether it’s zoning changes, housing concerns, or city governance. We also work to ensure the city charter aligns with constitutional law and serves all residents fairly.
We focus on transparency and engagement, not taking sides but ensuring that every resident, regardless of when they are in town, has access to the information they need to stay involved. WLHS is supported by about 150 donors. Every one from Harbor Springs or area townships. No external money.
