Oceana County Development
The Developer of Shelby Acres is Oceana County Development Corporation (OCDC), a 501(c)3 public charity. As a non-profit corporation, OCDC seeks individual, corporation and governmental grants to assist in the building of the Shelby Acres infrastructure, to include such items as underground water, sewer, internet and natural gas. Also included in infrastructure is earth moving, paved roads, erosion control, common areas, etc.
The founding incorporators of OCDC are Linda and Earl Peterson. The Petersons are long-time residents of Shelby and Oceana County. They jointly owned numerous farms and were the founders of several Oceana companies including Peterson Farms, Inc. and Oceana County Freezer Storage. Now, mainly retired, the Petersons understand the severe lack of availability of affordable housing for many local residents, and decided to be a part of the solution.
