Pasture-Based Beef Production in Northwest Michigan
Pasture-based beef production in northwest Michigan was discussed at a meeting of the Northwest Michigan Agriculture and Food System Sector Alliance in Traverse City. Dr. Jason Rowntree from Michigan State University, is working to develop a pilot project for the region's beef production that would include connecting famers, processors, distributors and retailers.

The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
