They managed the space and hosted many events like Burl & Sprig Fest, an EDM festival, an Irish Festival, and LIVE entertainment almost every weekend. The new addition was a great asset to downtown for visitors and businesses alike. This year the Chamber decided to take over the role of managing and the level of entertainment and excitement dropped drastically without the funds, management or time to host large, engaging events. This is where our management company came in and was asked to help. Our company was created to manage vacant lots and entertainment at city owned properties, like the Social Sandbox, along with an account at the Muskegon Community Foundation to accept tax free funds on our behalf. We set in place a management agreement between the owners of the property, the Downtown Muskegon Development Corporation(DMDC)and The Social Sandbox, LLC for exclusive management rights giving us authority to put this idea forward.” icon=”” svg-icon=”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”][eventchamp_content_title title=”dark” size=”size1″ align=”left” separator=”false” titleone=”OUR PLAN” titletwo=”” description=”With the help of businesses like yours we are looking to create spaces that downtown Muskegon has never seen before.
