Governor's Strategist Calls NWMCOG a Model for Michigan
Bill Rustem, the Director of Strategy for Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, spoke at a Regional Economic Summit in Traverse City. Rustem said the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments (NWMCOG) is a model for the type of collaboration regions need to be successful. Watch the video to hear Rustem's comments.
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!
