Artist rendering of developing Gladstoneâs North Shore development
GLADSTONE Developers are still being sought for the North Shore Development Project along the Lake Michigan shoreline on Little Bay de Noc. The Gladstone Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Gladstone City Commission and Gladstone Planning Commission are very supportive of the project.
The 34-acre site provides opportunities for new-build housing options within walking distance to downtown Gladstone. The development is intended to benefit city’s community and economy while maintaining a large amount of naturalized shoreline. Toward this goal, the city worked with MSU’s School of Planning, Design, and Construction along with MSU Extension to engage in Michigan State University’s Sustainable Built Environment Initiative (SBEI). The SBEI’s final report incorporated community feedback and included final design visuals. The report also made recommendations to maintain a theme of sustainability. Details o
