Officials to open Keweenaw Mountain Lodge this summer

COPPER HARBOR, MI (AP)--   The Keweenaw Mountain Lodge will be open again next summer while a buyer is sought.

The Daily Mining Gazette reports that the board overseeing the facility has voted to open the lodge and golf course. They say keeping it closed during summer would not be attractive to a potential buyer.

The property includes land, rooms, a nine-hole golf course, and a string of cabins. It was built in the 1930s to stimulate the economy during the Depression.

Keweenaw County says it can't afford to subsidize the property, but a buyer hasn't been found. A $1.5 million deal collapsed a few months ago.
