In 2018, the organization recognized a need for focused attention in the city of Mt. Clemens. The city was struggling in recovering from the last recession, more so then surrounding communities. Advancing Macomb hosted a summit to discover what priorities residents and business owners wanted to see in the city. As a result, the city received comprehensive data to use for future decision making and planning efforts.
We also used that data to secure additional resources for quality of life improvements in the city. We partnered with several organizations in the city on four successful projects; 1 focused on placemaking through art and 3 focused on recreation.
