Onekama Community Master Plan
The community of Onekama is the southern gateway of the M-22 corridor that loops around the majestic Lake Michigan shoreline, through Manistee, Benzie, and Leelanau Counties to Traverse City. It’s the first link in a chain of coastal communities that attract visitors year round, but particularly in the summer months due to the attractive beaches, rolling topography and vernal forests. It’s also the entrée into large tracts of state and national park land, including the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore, a number of state forest campgrounds, and the Leelanau State Park at the tip of Leelanau County. The corridor passes through a productive agricultural region with cherry orchards and an ever-growing wine industry.
The Onekama Community Master Plan is being jointly funded by the Village of Onekama and Onekama Township. The Alliance for Economic Success (AES) is the project administrator.
