Honor State Bank is in the business of providing banking needs for small businesses in Northwest Michigan. With branches covering geography from Manistee County to Grand Traverse County, it is critical to our customers’ success that the communities grow in a way that is uniform and supports appropriate infrastructure to the area. In addition, the communities need to show a progressive attitude so as to encourage entrepreneurs to invest in our region.

Part of that decision relies on providing a quality way of life and designing traffic patterns that do not act as an obstacle to getting from one location to another. The planning appears to be complete. It is critical that as a community we implement ideas that have come forward as a result of the Grand Vision. This will happen as a result of the community insisting that their elected officials embrace the concepts and commit the resources.
