The Suttons Bay Planning Commission is set to hold a formal site plan review on the conditional use permit for the Inland Seas Education Association (ISEA) campus expansion project at its regular meeting at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
The planning commission vote will essentially determine whether the project, which will affect the future of both the local community and the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem, moves forward.
In June, ISEA announced its “Campaign for the Future of Great Lakes Education,” unveiling a long-term vision for an expanded waterfront campus which would accommodate the high demand for its year-round STEM programming. The $11.1 million initiative aims to transform the organization’s capacity to “inspire the and educate the next generation of Great Lakes stewards, directly addressing the growing demand for ISEA’s impactful programs from K-12 schools, universities, and environmental organizations.”
