Cross Village
Cross Village is a village on the Lake Michigan shore in northwestern Emmet County at the north end of the scenic Tunnel of Trees, a small resort community with deep Odawa heritage, home to the famed Legs Inn, drawing drivers, diners, and summer visitors. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Cross Village area's restaurants, lodging, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
