Big News for Muskegon County!
|
Starting in October, you can have an "Early Out – Late In" flight through the Muskegon County Airport (MKG). Your Chamber has been advocating for this initiative for years!
This enables you to make earlier and more connections to destinations across the United States and around the world!
It also allows you to make same-day business trips. Plus, you have the added convenience of no commute by using your local airport.
This all starts October 4, 2018. United will depart MKG to Chicago daily at approximately 6:00 am and 2:30 pm. Flights will return to MKG from Chicago at approximately 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

Your Chamber has been hard at work prepping for the busy tourism season!
- New signage is located in the welcome lobby of our building to attract more visitors to our information center.
|
- Your Chamber held a guide training to get our volunteers visitor ready. Guide training helps ensure our visitors are getting the best possible experience while in Muskegon.

Keep up the good work. Let's have an awesome summer!

Hist-o-gram Stories:
2015
|
Your Chamber, in partnership with
Visit Muskegon, reached out to the Great Lakes Cruise Industry in 2015, attracting the first cruise ship
(The Pearl Mist) to the Port of Muskegon!
Your Chamber continues to be a huge advocate for recruiting and retaining cruise ships here in Muskegon County.
The arrival of several cruise ships have led to countless media exposure for the Muskegon Lakeshore and has put Muskegon on the map as a beautiful deep-water port!
