Bellaire
Bellaire is the seat of Antrim County in northwest Lower Michigan's Chain of Lakes country, a four-season resort village home to Shanty Creek Resort's skiing and golf, the flagship Short's Brewing Company, the Cedar River, and a downtown that anchors the surrounding lakes. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for Bellaire's resort, restaurant, lodging, shop, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
