- Alpena Area Street Map
We all have to shop and play. Some of us have to work and/or go to school. The Alpena Michigan area is ideally located for about everything.
Some destinations:
Alpena has a lot to offer. In February 2007 Bizjournals even ranked Alpena as the hottest retirement destination in the Great Lakes area.
Alpena County Regional Airport (APN) is Northeast Michigan's main commercial airport and handles daily flights to Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie.
Alpena Community College provides a two-year associates program that has partnerships with Spring Arbor University and several other Michigan institutions.
The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary is located offshore near the city.
Today, Alpena is known for its limestone quarry, one of the largest in the world, owned and operated by the Lafarge corporation and is a major cement manufacturer and exporter. Alpena is also the world headquarters of Besser Company, a manufacturer of concrete block machines. Tourism (fishing, hunting, camping and a variety of water sports) is also important to Alpena's economy. Alpena is also home to the NAHL's Alpena IceDiggers.
Alpena, along with the rest of Alpena County and portions of Presque Isle County, is served by Alpena Public Schools. Alpena Public Schools was established as the first county-wide school district in the state of Michigan. The district has one high school, a junior high, an alternative/adult high school, and eight elementary schools.
