Michigan Northern Peninsula Holds Bright Future Despite Tough Times
Michigan's northern peninsula, though hurt by mine and forestry declines and emigration, remains optimistic. Tourism, farming, forestry, and mining still provide income, with potential growth in new areas aided by government and technology.
