The City of Frankfort will be participating in a new program aimed at preventing tragedies at Frankfort Beach this summer.
“Every year we reassess the safety need associated with our Lake Michigan beach and the federally owned break water,” said City Superintendent Joshua Mills. “It’s always been a component of whether we do a flag system or some other type of monitoring system, and it always fell back on staffing and the staffing needs.”
