A new leaf at Sugar Loaf?

Let me be the first to say “I doubt it,” but in anticipation of a new burst of energy here, I’m rolling out a fresh post to replace the Turning the Page on Sugar Loaf post with its nearly 400 comments.

This week’s Leelanau Enterprise reports that Sugar Loaf owner Kate Wickstrom met with Glen Dempsey, head of the Leelanau County Construction Authority. Dempsey intends to work with Wickstrom towards bringing the long-shuttered resort into compliance with county building codes.

Probably the highlight of the article – other than confirmation that Wickstrom now intends to sell the property – is Cleveland Township supervisor Rick Stein’s statement to the township board that Sugar Loaf stands a “pretty good chance of being condemned if things don’t happen there pretty quickly.”

Thoughts? Comments? Post them below!
