Golf legend Jack Nicklaus is expected to put the finishing touches on a Michiana golf course helping move along a project that’s been in the making for four years.

This Sunday Nicklaus will visit the Harbor Shores project in Berrien County.

Project leaders say construction is on schedule.

So far in preparation for the 18 hole golf course most of the trees have been cleared, almost 40 homes demolished, and soon tons of garbage will be hauled away.

Once done by 2009 Harbor shores is expected to bring two thousand jobs to the community, clean up the vacant land, and revitalize the area.

“It should be a tremendous boast. It will be a systemic transformation here in Benton Harbor and to the extent in St. Joe that will it will be a help to solve the literacy problem,” says Mark Hesemann from the Harbor Shores project.

Besides the golf course plans also include restoring the Jean Klock Park.

The project is expected to cost 500 million dollars and also features new residential units, two hotels, a convention center, and indoor water park.
