Two Harbors Waterfront Task Force Unveils Draft Plan, Seeks Public Feedback

The Two Harbors Waterfront Task Force released a Draft Waterfront Plan and presented it to the community during a public open house on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, aimed at gathering feedback from Lake County residents and businesses. The Task Force scheduled the meeting for 5–7 p.m., announcing the event through its ArcGIS StoryMap updated in February 2026.

Task Force leaders used the ArcGIS StoryMap update February 2026 to notify neighbors about the Feb. 24 open house and the availability of the draft plan materials. The StoryMap announcement listed the open-house time as 5–7 p.m., signaling the Task Force’s effort to use digital mapping tools to reach Two Harbors stakeholders across Lake County.

The draft plan release and the Feb. 24 open house were explicitly organized to present the Draft Waterfront Plan and to gather community feedback, according to the Task Force’s public materials. That public-input step places the waterfront proposal on a timeline of community review in Two Harbors, where harbor access, shoreline use, and local economic activity have long been central concerns for residents of Lake County.

Local advocates and residents who attended the Feb. 24 open house were responding to a document now in the public process: the Draft Waterfront Plan. The Task Force’s decision to announce the meeting through the ArcGIS StoryMap updated February 2026 reflects an approach that combines visual planning tools with in-person conversation, a format aimed at capturing feedback from anglers, harbor-front businesses, and families who use Two Harbors’ lakefront.

For Lake County officials and Two Harbors institutions watching the process, the Draft Waterfront Plan release and the Feb. 24 public open house represent a concrete step in waterfront planning. The Task Force has put the draft before the community and used the ArcGIS StoryMap (February 2026 update) to invite participation, making this phase of review a clear moment for residents to engage with proposed changes to Two Harbors’ shoreline and public spaces.
