“It is not more bigness that should be our goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility, and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children’s future.”
–Robert F. Kennedy
Our Vision
RayAnne Partners is a community-focused development group dedicated to revitalizing Frankfort, Michigan’s Main Street while honoring its history, culture, and natural beauty.
Founded by partners with deep ties to small business, outdoor adventure, and creative placemaking, our mission is to create projects that endure — blending tradition with innovation, community with commerce.

What We Do
Why it Matters
Frankfort is already a jewel of the Lake Michigan coast, with a strong fishing culture, vibrant tourism, and a loyal year-round population, yet gaps remain. Rayanne Partners exists as a Placemaker to create new spaces while keeping Frankfort’s community spirit - ensuring that our development projects remain community staples for generations to come.
