Office will continue to serve customers over the 6- to 8-week renovation project
Crystal Falls, Michigan – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will soon be updating the Crystal Falls field office in Iron County — the first time the office has been substantially renovated since the building was constructed in 1970.
“The field office will undergo a complete interior remodel,” said Tim Melko, the DNR’s western Upper Peninsula administrative area manager. “This will include new carpet, paint, furniture, improved conference rooms, and lobby redesign to improve customer service.”
During the renovation, the office will remain open to the public from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CDT weekdays.
The remodel is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete.
“We will begin the full-scale renovation process Wednesday, July 5,” Melko said. “Phone and walk-in customer service, including information and license sales, will be available at the Crystal Falls field office with no anticipated interruptions.”
“We are looking forward to completing this remodel of the field office at Crystal Falls,” Melko said. “The updated accommodations will provide a better place to greet the public and address their questions or concerns, while also giving us an improved working environment for our DNR employees.”
The DNR’s Crystal Falls field office is located along U.S. 2, just west of the intersection with U.S. 141. The office is staffed with 10 employees representing the DNR forest resources, fisheries, wildlife, law enforcement and facilities and operations divisions.

The DNR maintains offices providing customer service in the Upper Peninsula at Baraga, Marquette, Newberry, Crystal Falls, Ishpeming, Escanaba, Gwinn, Naubinway, Norway and Sault Ste. Marie.
