What it reported doing in 2024

The gateways council endeavors to engage its component villages and their businesses and citizens to discuss the benefits and challenges presented by our growing national lakeshore visitor population. These constituent stakeholders can cooperatively interact with the national lakeshore to preserve the unique character and natural resources of the area. Our intention is to inclusively and transparently encourage and execute planning for the benefit of residents and visitors, the regional economy and the environment. Of great importance in this process is the participation of gateway communities which serve as the access points to the national lakeshore.
