Ox Creek
From Neglect to Opportunity
The Ox Creek Corridor has become a statewide focus of restoration and revitalization efforts. The vision for the area is to create a cultural, environmental, economic, and recreational asset providing a beautiful, healthy, safe place where current and future generations can connect to nature and experiences that enhance quality of life. To implement this vision, the City of Benton Harbor formed the Ox Creek Collaborative Partnership, which is working to secure funding and build projects to meet the community’s needs.
