Wake-up call ...?

Last week Crain’s Michigan Business website published a spread predicting that a new day is dawning, so to speak, for the state’s “Sunrise Side.”

Naturally this intrigued Sharon and me. Cheboygan, on Lake Huron, became our adopted hometown when we bought our cottage 26 years ago and today it’s the same non-tourist, leave-us-alone town that it was back in 1992,

The thought of becoming another Petoskey would send the average Cheboyganite scurrying to the U.P.

The Crain’s package addresses Cheboygan specifically: “Like other Michigan small towns, Cheboygan has emerged from its former sleepiness. Could it become Northern Michigan's ‘entrepreneurial capital’?

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Forest City Ratner Cos. CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin and MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis were named co-chairs of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, the neighborhood’s local development group.

Though the chairs of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership do not manage the organization day-to-day, Ms. Gilmartin said she and Mr. Pettis will be active in charting its strategy and initiatives. Among the goals on her agenda is improving the area’s streetscape, a plan that she said would include enhancing a connection between the new Brooklyn Bridge Park and the sliver of parks that run from the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge south to Borough Hall.

"We have all the right pieces here," Ms. Gilmartin said. "The goal is to put them all together."
