Good morning, Traverse City.

Baker College in Cadillac partners with Michigan SBDC to offer free consulting and training for entrepreneurs across ten northwest counties — a move that will give students real-world business experience.

The groups will celebrate the partnership with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 17.

Cherry Capital Airport saw a 23% surge in passengers in July and will launch a major project to add 15 new gates in a permanent terminal expansion scheduled to begin in spring and finish in spring 2028.

It will also build a temporary concourse with three gates and start a 350-spot parking lot near Costco next week—steps designed to ease the current crowding.

Campgrounds in Traverse City are getting ready for a busy Labor Day weekend as KOA welcomed early campers and nearly 300 reservations have been made—only a few sites remain available.
