Over the decades, millions of dollars in public funds have gone into cleaning up Muskegon Lake, once so heavily polluted that it was designated a "Great Lakes Area of Concern."

While the lake's health is improving, there is a growing concern among Muskegon residents that the benefits of this costly cleanup might be reaped primarily by developers and wealthy homeowners, potentially limiting public access to the shoreline that taxpayers funded to restore.

Our Muskegon YMCA invites Nelson children to join a summer of adventure at their Day Camp!

Beginning June 17 at McGraft Park, the licensed program offers a safe, structured, and exciting environment where children entering kindergarten through 7th grade can thrive.

Join us on Thursday, May 2nd, from 5:15 to 7:30 pm for a community celebration at Muskegon's stunning new Charles Hackley Middle School at 1700 Clinton Street

This event will be our first chance to explore the school's cutting-edge classrooms and facilities. It will include a dedication ceremony at 5:30 p.m., and light refreshments will be served.

Nelson strives to build a stronger, more vibrant community for all our residents. We're proud to provide financial support to programs making a genuine difference in our neighborhood.

It all begins with an idea.
