4 State of Michigan Goals Recreational harbors and waterways are wellmaintained and support enhanced, sustainable recreational and commercial use. Ensure that finite state resources are being invested in a strategic manner for access to water amenities - specifically recreational harbors and harbors of refuge. Provide communities the capacity, tools and resources that support identified uses of the resource.

5 Placemaking Placemaking is the process of creating quality places where people want to live, work, play, shop, learn, and visit. People are choosing to live in walkable mixeduse places that offer amenities, resources, social and professional networks, and opportunities that support successful lifestyles. Key to long-term sustainable communities.

6 Core Research Question What are the key barriers to small harbor economic, social and environmental sustainability and what tools would help small harbor managers create more stability? Public Water Access

7 Project Outcomes Identification of the key barriers to the sustainability (triple bottom line definition) of small harbors Development of a placemaking strategy and economic analysis for coastal communities to use to ascertain the financial viability of their harbor/waterfront Establishment of a guidebook and toolkit for small harbors including four full case studies on model development Summary report, presentation, case study fact sheets, and a website that will assist communities in their planning efforts

9 Project Website Presentations, Project Resources and Social Media

10 Case Study Development Four case studies communities were selected for indepth case study analyses and development of an economic model. Communities were selected based on harbor type, community type (suburban, city, downtown), population size, location and current economic condition. Placemaking design charettes conducted in collaboration with Lawrence Tech, Michigan Sea Grant and MSU Extension.
