Downtown Development

The City of Lake City is in the final phases of obtaining Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s (MEDC) Redevelopment Ready Community (RRC) designation. This strategic partnership will allow the City of Lake City to leverage the breadth of support offered by MEDC, and an ancillary benefit of this program is we will have much more reach when we are communicating regarding upcoming and ongoing projects. In addition, we will have access and support from the RRC team so, as they say:

WE CUT THE RED TAPE SO YOU CAN CUT THE RED RIBBON

Redevelopment Ready Sites are located within Certified Redevelopment Ready Communities, a program designed to prepare communities to offer a transparent, predictable, and efficient development experience. Sites have been hand-picked as priority redevelopment opportunities to help you save time and money. Explore Redevelopment Ready Sites

According to MEDC, BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES:

To be vibrant and competitive, Michigan communities must be ready for development. This involves planning for new investment, identifying assets and opportunities, and focusing limited resources. The MEDC supports the growth of vibrant, diverse, and resilient communities by providing economic development services and programs to attract and retain talent in Michigan communities.
