Bring Your Business to Forsyth Township
Opportunity Awaits in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
Looking for a community where your business can thrive? Forsyth Township in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula offers a unique combination of underutilized infrastructure, a growing population, and immediate business opportunities. From KI Sawyer, a former U.S. Air Force Base with commercial buildings ready for repurposing, to the quaint towns of Gwinn and Little Lake, Forsyth Township provides the perfect environment for businesses to grow and succeed.
Why Forsyth Township?
Untapped Market
With 3,000 residents in KI Sawyer alone and 7,000 across the township, Forsyth Township is in need of essential services and businesses, creating a perfect market for new enterprises.
Affordable Commercial Space
Commercial buildings near Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport are available for redevelopment. These spaces are ideal for warehouses, manufacturing, logistics centers, or offices, providing a low-cost option for businesses looking to expand.
Strategic Location
Forsyth Township is in the heart of Upper Michigan. Being in the geographical center with Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport provides the perfect equation logistically. Regular FedEx flights make it easy to ship and receive products, ensuring that businesses can operate efficiently in both local and global markets.
Opportunities in KI Sawyer
KI Sawyer, once a large and active air force base, now serves as a hub for opportunity. With over 3,000 residents and only a small convenience store, the need for basic services is high. Imagine the potential for your business to meet these needs:
Gas Station: There is currently no gas station in Sawyer, making it a prime opportunity for a new or franchised fuel and convenience business.
Restaurants and Retail: With limited dining and shopping options, businesses like family restaurants, coffee shops, or general stores (e.g., a dollar store) would serve an eager and underserved customer base.
Laundromat: Residents of Sawyer and the surrounding area lack access to basic services like a laundromat, which could thrive in this growing community.
Gwinn and Little Lake: Open for Business
Forsyth Township’s heart, Gwinn, offers several vacant retail spaces and green spaces ready for new development. Whether you're looking to open a boutique, café, or service-oriented business, the town is welcoming to entrepreneurs and business owners who want to be part of a growing, close-knit community.
Retail Growth: Gwinn has multiple open locations for retail shops, from smaller storefronts to larger spaces that could house a supermarket or specialty store. Green space is also available for new construction, whether for businesses or housing developments.
Commercial Development: With land available for development and an increasing demand for housing, the potential for mixed-use projects is strong. More businesses, combined with expanded residential offerings, could revitalize Gwinn and offer long-term growth potential.
Little Lake: Reopen the General Store: Little Lake, a picturesque community within Forsyth Township, is home to a closed general store and gas station that is for sale. This property represents a unique opportunity to bring vital services back to the area while tapping into a market that lacks nearby amenities.
