Economy

The village of Cedar sports a small number of brick and mortar stores. Notable among these is Bunting's Cedar Market, which is the sole general food-goods store within the community, and has been operating since the mid-1990s.[12] Additional staples within the community include the Cedar Tavern, the Cedar Hardware Store, the Blue Moon Ice Cream Shop, and the Polish Art Center.[13] Beyond the village but within the same zip code, industry is largely agricultural, ranging from cattle-rearing to fruit growing.

Controversies

In 2022, conflict arose as the proprietors (Northgate Resorts) of the Leelanau Pines Campground intended to double the campground's size, construct additional facilities, and increase access and use of Lake Leelanau. Many residents of Cedar and surrounding communities expressed their concerns that these developments will attract more individuals and traffic to the area than is desired, and in turn impede the rural character of the community. This controversy culminated with over 200 people filling the township hall to voice their concerns regarding the development.[14] The planning commission unanimously voted to deny the expansion, but Northgate Resorts responded with a lawsuit towards the township. A settlement was reached which included moderate cutbacks in the development plans for the Leelanau Pines Campground. Concern still exists surrounding Northgate Resorts' intentions regarding increasing lake access through the issuance of more boat slips, but the matter must first be handled by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) before the township can address the question.[15] The issue is ongoing as of January 2024.

History

Cedar was founded in approximately 1885 by lumberman Benjamin Boughey. He named it Cedar City due to its location in a cedar forest. The depot on the Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad[16] continued to be known as Cedar City, long after the post office named simply Cedar was established on August 15, 1893.[17]
