Harbor Springs Demographics

The Northern Lakes Economic Alliance (NLEA) believed that an annual economic perspective would be a valuable tool for their four-county region. As a result, NLEA recently partnered with local Chambers of Commerce throughout its service area of Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan and Emmet Counties, as well as with the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments to produce a synopsis that represents regional economic climate perspectives from various economic sectors in Northern Michigan.

The NLEA believes this information will be useful, and has footnoted sources so readers can conduct further research on their own, if they so choose. If you would like additional information or have any comments regarding this report, please contact the Harbor Springs Chamber of Commerce.
