OUR MISSION
The Lake Michigan Shore Association is a vitally important organization that is dedicated to monitoring issues that could adversely impact our area. Our mission is to protect our beautiful Southwest Michigan shore for future generations, and we are dedicated to preserving the quality and character of this magnificent area. We also advocate and encourage actions that enhance the quality of life and the environment along the lakeshore with the help of our members, partners, and sponsors.

WORKING FOR OUR MEMBERS
This past year, our focus has been on a number of issues that affect our area. We are grateful for the support of our members.
- The completion of the West Side County Park Tree Replacement Project that was generously funded by 24 LMSA members and other residents.
- The Allegan County Road Commission study of potential alternative plans which address the vulnerability of Lakeshore Drive north of 126th in Saugatuck Township.
- Allegan County's study of ways to provide full access to the beach at West Side County Park.
- Ganges Township's potential improvements to the existing Pier Cove Beach plus the expansion of it to the north by acquiring additional lake frontage.
- Lakeshore Drive safety and signage.
- The application for a Dollar General store development on M-89 east of Lyons Fruit Market. The developer eventually withdrew the application.
We also seek to promote goodwill and harmonious living for residents and visitors to our community. We believe that by providing information, there will be an increased awareness and greater respect for the quality of life that we have all come to cherish. To that end, we offer several important papers that we hope you find helpful. Click on the corresponding image to download.
