Dear Governor Whitmer, 

<INSERT OPTIONAL PERSONAL OPENING STATEMENT(s) HERE>

Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association (MAMA) plans on constructing a rocket launch site in Powell Township, Marquette County, MI. I oppose this plan because:

  1. The proposed launch site, Granot Loma, features pristine wilderness and wildlife that would be endangered by the spaceport
  2. The rocket launch site risks polluting Lake Superior, especially in the event of explosion
  3. Residential areas, and potentially thoroughfares, near the spaceport would be required to evacuate for each launch, and would be endangered by explosions
  4. The site is near various outdoor recreation areas that would be adversely impacted
  5. By its pattern of concealment and lack of transparency, MAMA has shown little respect for our community.
  6. Data shows that this plan would not create significant economic impact or a high volume of desirable jobs for locals, contradictory to what MAMA originally claimed

Intensive industrialization of Lake Superior’s coast will permanently change the unique character of Powell Township and Marquette County- places worth protecting. This spaceport would damage our quality of life.

Our freshwater coast is already attracting jobseekers, which will continue to foster economic growth without destructive industrialization. 

 

I respectfully ask you to advocate for your constituents in Marquette County by speaking out against this launch plan and shining a light on MAMA’s misrepresentations and lack of transparency.

Sincerely,
