The Marquette Plan – Improvements along Northwest Indiana’s Lake Michigan shoreline
The Marquette plan is a comprehensive land use vision intended to achieve tangible quality of life improvements along Northwest Indiana’s Lake Michigan shoreline and beyond. “At the heart of this planning initiative is the creation of a green ribbon of connected dune and swale landscapes, river corridors, lakes, beaches, reclaimed industrial canals and a range of diverse habitat that provides the natural counterpart to the industrialized setting that has dominated Northwest Indiana for the past century.” 2005.
