Leelanau Ticker: Grand Traverse Band Lands $11.9 Million NOAA Grant To Support Timber Shores Acquisition

By Craig Manning | July 22, 2024


An effort to preserve 200-plus acres of prime coastal land in Leelanau County took a massive step forward late last week, thanks to a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The grant, part of a second round of funding from NOAA’s Transformational Habitat Restoration and Coastal Resilience program, will earmark some $6.5 million for the purchase and restoration of land near Northport that had previously been planned as the home for a large RV resort called Timber Shores. It’s the biggest milestone yet for a land preservation effort that began more than a year ago.
