MCLUC Reporter
The Michigan Land Use Institute began as theManistee County Land Use Coalition, to addressthe pace and scale of Antrim Shale natural gasdevelopment in rural northern Michigan.MCLUC now is a project of the Institute. Theacronym is pronounced 'muk-luk,' as in the soft-soled moccasin that steps lightly and respectfully on the earth. With this issue, the MCLUCReporteris incorporated into the Great LakesBulletinas an ongoing special section on oil andgas drilling. |
