Two sides at odds over development plans for Saugatuck Dunes

By STATESIDE STAFF • AUG 11, 2017

 

A stretch of sand dunes along Lake Michigan might be under development soon, and a lot of people are concerned about that. They want to protect the natural state of the Saugatuck Dunes.

David Swan is the president of the Saugatuck Dunes Coastal Alliance. He’s worked with a coalition of locals who want to see the dunes protected. Swan said he’s not against the idea of economic development around Saugatuck, but it should be balanced with preservation of environmentally sensitive areas.

“Protection of the natural resources, that’s our economic driver,” Swan said. “Our geography is our economy.”
