Why Harbor Shores

54% of the Benton Harbor population is below the poverty line

24%of the population left Benton Harbor in the last 15 years

If the City of BentonHarbor had

the level of economic developmentthat the City of St Joseph enjoys

there would be no need for this projectThe primemotivation to create Harbor Shores

is to return BentonHarbor

to the level of economic prosperity it enjoyed prior to

manufacturingsgradual exodus

out of the State of Michigan

Why HarborShores

Jean Mock Park is owned by the City of Benton Harbor

For years residents have directed the city commission

to use the park to create jobs while improving the

facilitys access and recreational opportunities

When all is said and done Jean Mock Park will be

expanded by more than 47 acres with over $1000000in improvementsand ongoing financial resources

dedicated to the City and the Park That by itself makes

Harbor Shores worthwhile project but the tax base

and employment created for future

generations makes this once in

lifetime opportunityPete Mitchell

Park Wetland Realities

as an urban fishing pond north of

for small area used for the 16th tee

Mostly within park boundaries this area

is not commonlyconsidered part of the

park due to the Jean Drive intersection

Why Jack Nicklaus

Ordinarygolf courses today are

struggling financially To be viable

course must attract golfers from

outside the immediate vicinity

Mr Nicklaus puts his signature on only

the very best courses and they must havedistinctive elements Harbor Shores made it

clear the development had to be in the

Benton Harbor city limits Mr Nicklaus saw

this location with holes in and around Lake

Michigan as meeting his stringent Jack

Nicklaus Signature Course guidelines

What if we had no golf

Regrettably LR would have absolutely no interest in

undertaking project in Benton Harbor were it not

for construction of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf

Course And not just Signature course but one

with the type of golf holes and view appeal that

makesdevelopment

of thetype

wepropose

competitive with other similarprojects

Deviation away from these truly unique golf course

elements will exponentially erode the likely success

of Harbor Shores and with it

our interest in the project

Golf is CommunityRequest

There has been lot of confusion over the Jean Kiock

Park use but the bottom line is the Harbor Shores

development will create three public golf holes in and

around the current parking lot of Jean Mock Park

utilizing 22 acres and adding 47 acres of additional

park areas along the Paw Paw River as permanent parkspace Fees from each round of golf will be used to

help maintainand operate the park and jobs for the

residents will be created

Endangered Species Not Harmed

During construction HSCRI will have its consultants

on site to monitor grading activities and identify

sensitive natural areas to avoid and buffer

After the golf course construction is completed

the HSCRI golf course management company will be

provided with vegetation management planincluding map identifying sensitive natural areas

and vegetation manipulationin these natural areas

will be limited to the cutting of woody vegetation

obstructing golf play
