Land use Agreement with the Ishpeming Ski Club.

The City of Negaunee and Ishpeming Ski Club are pleased to announce that both entities have entered into a land use agreement. The five-year agreement allows for the ski club to access part of the city lands near the ski jump. The club currently has been using this site for a number of years without an agreement.

“This oversight was discovered after the club reached out to the city for trash removal on part of this site. Unfortunately, individuals were illegally dumping garbage. We are thankful to the club and others that assisted in removing this”, City Manager Nate Heffron said.

The Ishpeming Ski Clubs is a non-profit all-volunteer club that offer year-round service to its members and the public. This new agreement will allow the club to continue its present-day activities of maintaining a cross-country ski trial system on city land. Currently the club maintains a loop system of just under 3-miles overall.
