New Community Vision Advances Efforts to Acquire Timber Shores
Northport-based non-profit New Community Vision (NCV) is preparing for a strong summer push to deliver a new future for the former Timber Shores property. During the quiet winter months, NCV has been working hard to position itself to acquire, preserve and restore the prominent and high-profile 214-acre lakeshore property located on M-22 between Omena and Northport.
NCV had targeted an initial $5 million fundraising goal for the end of 2023. The strong level of donations and pledges received to date has enabled two important next steps. First, NCV has secured an extension to its exclusive purchase option, giving more time to continue raising funds through this summer. Secondly, NCV worked to establish a strategic partnership with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB) and pursue a collaborative application for a significant federal grant with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal agency whose mandate to track and support coastal resiliency, aquatic habitats and fishery resources. Part of this grant will help NCV reach the purchase price to acquire the entire Timber Shores property.
NCV still has significant money to raise with a mid-summer goal of raising $3.6 million from private donors.
