Lake Township Landowner Survey

Like many coastal communities, Lake Township on the eastern shore of Saginaw Bay is working to enhance its reputation as a desirable place to live and visit. With assistance from Michigan Sea Grant, township officials surveyed 1,529 landowners in 2005 about coastal land use practices.

Sea Grant Specialist Mike Klepinger provided technical assistance to Lake Township in the development of the survey instrument and analysis of survey responses. He presented the written report to Lake Township officials and citizens in September 2005 at a town hall meeting. The survey was funded in part by the MDEQ Coastal Management Program.
