Branding the Bayshore, From Acme to Elmwood
By Beth Milligan
In the last decade, Traverse City, Acme, East Bay and Elmwood have all launched or intensified strategic "placemaking" efforts for areas on or near Grand Traverse Bay.
What up until now has been missing, however, is a cohesive vision among all the governing bodies: how would each handle overlapping boundaries, different zoning regulations, and unique goals and budgets?
Enter the Bayshore Corridor Strategy. Launched in September, the massive, six-month collaborative planning effort is bringing together the planning commissions of all four communities – along with key regional partners – to create a strategy for the 10 mile-long Grand Traverse Bay shore corridor that runs from the intersection of M-72/US-31 in Acme to the intersection of M-22/Cherry Bend Road in Elmwood.
