According to Harbor Beach Mayor Gary Booms, the site is zoned industrial, which would not allow perspective purchasers to use it for any other purpose. The tract of land, which includes several acres of lake-frontage, will be rezoned. After the rezoning, it could be divided and used for residential, recreational, commercial, or other purposes.
