The Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is an eleven (11) member Board appointed by the Township Supervisor with the approval of the Township Board. Appointments are for six (6) year terms. The EDC was created for the public purpose of alleviating and preventing conditions of unemployment by encouraging local municipalities in the State of Michigan to finance industrial and non-profit projects with EDC revenue bonds or revenue notes.
The Township welcomes your comments on the application. Please contact Mr. Bob Vallina, Community Planning and Development Director, at (248) 674-6239 or via email.
