Major employers are Howmet Corporation, an aerospace firm in nearby Whitehall, and Sappi Fine Papers in Muskegon. Wholesale, retail and the service trades also provide employment. The Muskegon Museum of Art and Hackley Library were given to the city by lumber-era magnate Charles Hackley. Heritage Landing is a lakeshore venue for Muskegon's Summer Celebration. Other attractions are the Hartshorn Marina and the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts.
