About Harbor Inc.
Harbor Inc. is built on the foundation that our future quality of life is too important to leave to chance. In 2001, a small group of local leaders realized the importance of community in making decisions about our land and resources. Today, Harbor Inc. works with local jurisdictions and organizations, through public and private means, to cooperatively implement this vision.
