Water Street Commons

The Water Street Commons is a small business collaborative of five tiny shops, one beverage shed, a food truck area, and public seating area along the Thunder Bay River in the heart of Downtown Alpena. The project is led by the Alpena Downtown Development Authority (DDA) as a way to provide low-cost, low-risk commercial space for small businesses looking to try out Downtown Alpena, diversify the downtown offerings, and bring more foot traffic to the downtown. The shops will be open each year from May through December.
