📢 NOTICE: Political Campaign Sign Update

Campaign Representatives:

The City of Cheboygan is providing this notice to all political campaigns and campaign committees regarding the placement of political campaign signs within the City. We sent an email to federal, state, and local political candidates on October 7th and placed a similar notice on our webpage and Facebook on October 12th.

Pursuant to City of Cheboygan Zoning Ordinance, Section 12.02(C), political signs do not require a sign permit; however, the Ordinance specifically provides that such signs shall not be located within any right-of-way.

Campaigns and Committees are asked to ensure that all campaign signs placed within the City limits by its volunteers, supporters, or other individuals acting on its behalf are located on private property and outside of the public right-of-way.

Signs found within a public right-of-way are subject to removal in accordance with applicable City ordinances and procedures. Please ensure your signs comply with the City Ordinance otherwise they will be removed by the City. Width of the right-of-way is dependent on the street you live on. If you are not sure of the width of the right-of-way by your house, call City Hall at (231) 627-9931.

The City will continue to collect signs until we canvass the entire City. Once we have finished the collection process, we will allow political candidates to come and collect their signs. We will announce a set day and time that they will be available. We have experienced some homeowners that are reposting signs back in the right-of-way. This is not only illegal, but also delaying the collection process and is extending the time before the signs are available for candidates.

The City appreciates your cooperation in complying with the City of Cheboygan Zoning Ordinance and helping maintain clear and safe public rights-of-way for motorists, pedestrians, and other users.

Have a great weekend!

WE’RE HIRING! Come work where the action is.

Cheboygan Main Street DDA is looking for a part-time Main Street Program Assistant to join our team!

We’re looking for someone who is organized, dependable, creative, comfortable working with people, and ready to jump into the wide variety of things that make Downtown Cheboygan happen.

This isn’t a job where every day looks the same. You might be:

• Helping with downtown events and activities
• Creating and scheduling social media
• Working with volunteers and downtown businesses
• Tackling office projects and keeping things organized
• Helping behind the scenes — and sometimes right in the middle of the action!

This is a part-time, year-round position, and some evening and Saturday availability is required.

Lots of variety. Lots of people. Lots of Downtown Cheboygan.

Interested? Check out the full job posting and application information here: https://www.cheboygan.org/residents/employment/

Come help us make things happen in Downtown Cheboygan!

CARE ABOUT DOWNTOWN CHEBOYGAN? PULL UP A CHAIR.

Cheboygan Main Street DDA has an opening on our Board of Directors, and we’re looking for someone who wants to play an active role in shaping the future of Downtown Cheboygan.

This isn’t a once-a-month-meeting kind of board.

Our board members are part of the work. They serve on committees, help move projects forward, participate in Main Street initiatives and events, and bring their ideas, expertise and energy to the table.

Board members should be prepared to average approximately 10 hours per month outside of the regular monthly board meeting.

We’re looking for someone who:
• Has an interest in a property or business within the downtown district or is a resident of the district
• Can attend monthly board meetings, typically held the third Tuesday at 6:00 PM
• Can actively participate an average of approximately 10 hours per month beyond regular board meetings
• Is willing to serve a four-year term
• Wants to roll up their sleeves and help make good things happen downtown

You don’t need to be an expert in downtown development. We’re looking for someone who cares about Downtown Cheboygan, brings a valuable perspective, and is ready to participate.

Applications are due by 4:00 PM Thursday, October 8, 2026.

Board & Commission applications are available at City Hall or online: https://www.cheboygan.org/news/

Questions? Contact Main Street Executive Director Polly Schneider at 231-627-9931 or [email protected].

Downtown doesn’t happen by accident. Come be part of the work that makes it happen.

The City of Cheboygan is excited to share that all 15 trees included in this year’s Community Street & Boulevard Tree Planting Project have been planted throughout the City!

This project was made possible through the generous support of Consumers Energy. Their funding helped the City add new trees within our public rights-of-way, bringing more shade, beauty, and long-term benefits to our neighborhoods.

A big thank you to Consumers Energy for supporting tree planting in our community, as well as and our DPW and Parks and Recreation staff for helping make this project a success!

We’re excited to watch these trees grow and continue to add to the beauty of Cheboygan for years to come. 🌱🌳

Thank you, Consumers Energy, for helping Cheboygan grow!
