Michigan’s townships vary a great deal in geography, populations, demographics, services & more. But there’s one thing they all have in common: a story to tell.
Partnering on a new program?
Starting a community garden?
Preserving the old township hall?
Every township has its own successes, challenges, joys & struggles, along with the innovations & visions that shape how it serves its residents & businesses each day.
