Northwest Michigan Regional Awards 2011
The Northwest Michigan Council of Governments recognized the achievements of individuals, businesses and local units of government for their success and contributions to our region during its 2011 Awards Luncheon on April 15, 2011.
NWMCOG celebrated 21 honorees from within the council's 10-county region, recognized for their creativity, leadership, initiative, service and success at this year's ceremony, held in Traverse City.
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!
