Great Lakes City Showcase


This week's featured city: for the week of: June 24, 1996
Traverse City, Michigan
"A World Class Resort Area"

That's how one travel writer characterized the Grand Traverse region. But it's really much more. Our well-rounded economy includes high tech research firms, automotive suppliers, cherry and wine industries and some of the finest medical facilities available in Michigan. Traverse City is also the economic and retail center for northwest Michigan. A thriving downtown is complimented by a dozen or more neighborhood shopping centers and two enclosed malls.
Cultural interests and activities play an important part in the lives of most residents. The Interlochen Center for the Arts offers both year around music and drama as well as its famed Summer Music Camp, with outdoor concerts featuring some of America's top concert artists. Traverse city boasts its own symphony as well, and a restored opera house and civic theater.
Traverse City is also home to Northwestern Michigan College, the first community college in Michigan with a fully accredited Adult Education program as well as the thriving Great Lakes Maritime Academy. Most however, would agree the biggest attraction is the beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. The East and West arms of Grand Traverse Bay are separated by a 20-mile long peninsula with the largest concentration of red tart cherry orchards in the world.Traverse City is the county seat of Grand Traverse county, one of the fastest growing counties in Michigan.
