Pigeon Lake Access to Temporarily Remain Closed
Pigeon Lake Access to Temporarily Remain Closed
West Olive, Mich. Friday, April 10, 2020
Consumers Energy announced the opening to the Pigeon Lake access near its J.H. Campbell Generating Complex will be delayed this year. The site closes each fall and normally opens April 15.
Access will remain temporarily closed due to winter storm damage to the pier and to provide outdoor space for plant employees essential to operating the Campbell complex who are sequestered away from their homes due to the COVID-19 situation.
Once the sequestration is lifted, the site should be reopened to allow public access to the fishing platforms on the boardwalk. However, access to the pier will remain closed until storm damage repairs can be completed and the pier safely reopened. Signs and barricades will clearly mark that the site is closed.
Consumers Energy, Michigan’s largest energy provider, is the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy (NYSE: CMS), providing natural gas and/or electricity to 6.7 million of the state’s 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
