Support Tourism and Economic Development in Winthrop Harbor
Winthrop Harbor is a wonderful place to live, work, shop, and play. In 2010 the Village adopted a strategic plan for economic development created by the Economic Development Commission (EDC). The focus of these strategies center on the Village’s identity as a lakefront destination, as a means for maximizing non-residential revenues to help maintain and improve our community. As Lake County’s Lakefront, almost 2 million people visit North Point Marina and Illinois Beach State Park each year—2 million people that need places to eat, shop, and play.
But we want to reach out further. We want to provide a place for promoting events that bolster the strategic plan. We want to provide a place for a clear representation of the Village’s lakefront identity. And we want a place to showcase business developments and opportunities. So, to our residents, our visitors, and now to the over 500 million people on Facebook…here we are. Welcome to our page.
