Development Decisions | wsg Art Bukowski, Traverse City Ticker | Week of June 12, 2026 | Traverse City News Roundup

Big projects. Big debates. Big changes for Northern Michigan! On this episode of **Currently**, Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) are joined by special guest Art Bukowski (Traverse City Ticker) to break down some of the biggest local stories shaping Northern Michigan.  Support for Currently comes from West Shore Bank, committed to the well-being of our community. The trio discusses ambitious redevelopment plans that could transform downtown Kingsley with new housing and retail space, while also exploring the debate over a proposed boat launch at Kelly Park on Old Mission Peninsula and the environmental hurdles still standing in the way. Plus, they dive into a controversial duplex development on Traverse City's west side, where concerns over traffic, tree preservation, and neighborhood connectivity are fueling spirited discussions. Special thanks to Scott Pierson and Super Cone for the sweet summery treat to finish off the episode! Currently is a Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
