Summary
An Economic Development Commission panel visited Beaver Island in August 1956 at the Civic Association’s invitation. The September Beaver Beacon says about 25 business people and others attended a meeting and that the panel agreed to write impressions about possible island economic development.
Evidence and limits
This is a reported survey visit and meeting, not a completed economic plan. The paper does not supply the panel’s written impressions, a full attendance list, or evidence of later implementation.
