Will On the Narrows Marina expand on Big Glen Lake?

The McCahills want an additional 39 boat slips on a new dock, bringing the total to 46, as well as increase the moorings to 16. The marina is located on M-22, just north of the Glen Lake Narrows. The Glen Arbor Township Board held a special meeting on Jan. 26 to respond to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality regarding the application to expand the marina. The Board voted 4-0 to write to the DEQ noting its concerns over parking, pedestrians, road safety, navigation at the bridge, water safety, and the potential for pollution. Read more here.
