New Designs for Growth Community Growth Grant Winners 2012

New Designs for Growth Community Growth Grant Winners 2012
The grants will provide funding and/or technical support to eight local units of government for projects that pursue the principles of The Grand Vision as a means to increase economic prosperity and growth in their community.

The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
