ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT UPDATES
HILLCREST VILLAGE - Now taking applications!
As our business community knows, adequate housing is a challenge for our future prosperity. The Hillcrest project is one of the recent examples to tackle the housing needs in our area.  

THE GATEWAY PROJECT
The Manistee Area Chamber continues to work on the Gateway Project as one of our top economic development priorities. This brownfield loan and grant will move the project forward with demolition and remediation in late 2021 and 2022 and prepare the site for new construction.

WELCOME NEW CHAMBER INVESTORS
Canfield Bed & Breakfast - Originally from Northern Indiana, we’ve vacationed in Onekama during the summers since 1985 and fell in love with the area. It was always a dream to own the Canfield House and be part of the Onekama community. Recently the opportunity community presented itself and we, along with a close family friend, decided to purchase the Canfield House and re-open it as a bed and breakfast. We look forward to continuing the tradition Paul and Jane Mueller first established as the innkeepers of the Canfield House Bed & Breakfast. Website or Facebook Page
