We’re currently in the feasibility stage of a proposed land swap between Leelanau Township and the State of Michigan. The objective is to address ownership concerns at Woolsey Airport’s north runway, where part of the land is state-owned.
Our proposal involves swapping this state-owned portion for township-owned land at the north end of Densmore Road near Mud Lake. This swap could streamline airport operations and improve safety, while offering the state environmentally significant land.
We’re assessing the impact, benefits, and logistics of this swap, and we’re looking forward to community input and further analysis to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved.
The map indicates the property owned by State of Michigan outlined in Red, the Township property is outlined in Blue. Click here to view map.
