SS Downtown Inc Focused on creating a thriving and sustainable downtown that serves all members of our community. S.S. Downtown, Inc. The S.S.

is a local non-profit, volunteer organization that emerged from our members shared passion for all things Harsens Island. Residents and visitors alike enjoy this hidden gem all year long and SSDI is dedicated to ensuring the long-term vitality of our community. We are working hard to secure much needed resources that will enable us to further enrich island life. Harsens Island, although often overlooked, is rich with history. In fact, our name is a nod to not only the town of Sans Souci, but to the prefix that was commonly used on merchant vessels to identify the ship as using steam propulsion. Tashmoo is among the most recognized ships from its era but just one of several steamships that were responsible for bringing vacationers and summer residents to the island each year. Our mission is to support community efforts to create a thriving and sustainable downtown that serves all members of our community. If you are interested in joining our efforts, please contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to growing together as a community.

***We want to make certain that the true credit, gratitude & thanks is given to Senator Hertel who wrote the Bill for the 2nd DDA & fought to get it passed thru the House & Senate & on to the Governor for signature.***

SSDI, along with Roy Martin and Tanya Hogan, had the honor of being invited to the Michigan Capitol for the signing of the bill designating the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) district for Sans Souci. This important milestone represents a significant step forward for our community and potentially will open doors to future opportunities for growth, improvement, and investment in downtown Sans Souci.
