Amazing Location to Support Any Lifestyle

Outside of work, you can take advantage of all that Southwest Michigan has to offer:

Benton Harbor is located on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan, across the river from its twin city of St. Joseph. We are home to great beaches for summertime fun, vineyards for some of the best wines, and Breweries/Distilleries where you can sample lively spirits.  When you're not enjoying some time at the beach, you can play golf at the Harbor Shores Resort, enjoy performances at The Mendel Center, or take a stroll through the Benton Harbor Arts District. The area also features a wide range of restaurants and shops to enjoy and is perfect for relaxing and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, raising a family, or enjoying the next phase of life.  If you need to take a vacation from this piece of paradise, we are only 1.5 hours from Grand Rapids and Chicago!
