Growth And New Developments In Emmet, Charlevoix, Antrim

From Elk Rapids to Charlevoix, Petoskey and Harbor Springs, the business climate looks pretty rosy up north. The anticipation of a busy summer – potentially the busiest ever, according to some – along with a strong economy bodes well for private and nonprofit businesses.

The area is home to two businesses named to the 50 Companies to Watch by Michigan Celebrates Small Business: Beards Brewery of Petoskey and Industrial Magnetics, Inc. of Boyne City. 

Meanwhile the "hole" in downtown Petoskey might soon be replaced, if developer Bob Berg has his way with his newly proposed Petoskey Grand. And hotel renovations, new eateries, and other developments are dotted throughout the three counties to the north.
