Harbor Beach
Harbor Beach is a small city on the Lake Huron shore of Michigan's Thumb, home to the world's largest man-made freshwater harbor, the birthplace of Governor and Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy, and a mix of a working harbor, lakeshore tourism, and local manufacturing. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Harbor Beach's shops, restaurants, lodging, manufacturers, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
